I haven't had an outbreak since.
no i haven't, i will try that if i'm still having problems if my top off water is not the case. thanks

IMO you need to have the skimmer in about 6-7 inches of water.

I will almost guarantee it is because of you pouring top off water in to fast.

Good luck!

+1 I agree, I have mine in about 7" of water.

Really? the IN-250? I thought it needed to be in at least 13" of water.... i had it in 12" initially for a long time without any problems.......
