Some people don't run skimmers at all. You should be fine just keep an eye on your nitrates and do water changes as needed. I've had mine offline for weeks before.

Its because the skimmer is not oxygenating the water. 7.85 is okay, low but okay. Don't worry about it too much, it is more important to keep pH stable don't keep trying to get it to a certain number. If you want, add and airstone to the sump.

How do you like the ATI T5? How many bulbs? Did you keep the LED as supplements or replace completely? Tanks looks good and full Minh!
