That's true, but Waterdragon, who posted the initial question, said "I always run the filter 24/7" in his post so that's what got me thinking about the distinction. I probably wouldn't have even considered it otherwise. Anyway, you are right that the bottom line practical conclusion is not to put acidic tabs (like Trichlor) in the skimmer.
