HOLY skimmer overflow!
 

I decided to try some Reef Roids in my home display tank this weekend... HOLY **** does that stuff cause the skimmer to go bonkers!!:surprise: My skimmer wanted to overflow for about 2 hours after adding the stuff even after having it off for 45 minutes directly after adding it.

Anyone else have this happen?

not to that extent, nope. I know I used to leave my skimmer off for about an hour when I fed reef roids. Now using coral frenzy I don't even turn it off. Turn off the return section for 20 minutes and go from there.

Wow, my skimmer shuts down foam production when I feed that stuff. Weird. :confused:

So does mine.

Me neither on the Reefroids doing it, but, interestingly, I have two tanks (well, technically atm, I just shutdown my 20g) skimmed by needlewheels (one is a 20g skimmed by a css65, and other a 40g skimmed by a Bubble Magus), and they will randomly go berserkly overflow once in a while (to the point there's so much foam it pushes the cap clean off and you get the "foam waterfall" effect down into the sump). The first time it happened I thought it was because I had glued a frag down with a new epoxy I was trying, and so I chucked out the epoxy. Then it randomly happened solidly 6 or 7 times since then on the 20g, and it seems to happen about once every 2 weeks on my 40g. Weird. Oh and always after lights out. So I wonder if it's snailspawn or something else like that..

Try feeding some frozen food to the fish at the same time. The frozen food should counteract it. :)

That a damn good idea! You are too smart...:biggrin:

I have my moments... few and far between. ;)
