Euro-Reef skimmer question
Did any Euro-Reef user had an experence of too much bouble overflod the collection cup all the time?
I set the water level of the skimmer at the lowest position, set the waterlevel in the sump about 4 inches high and then let it ran for 2 days none stop for it to break in my system.....but still....the bouble fill up the cup within just 10 seconds amd start to overflow......damn...... salinity is around 023, temp 77F, NO2, NO3 almost 0 PLEASE HELP~ :cry: |
Did you have a skimmer before installing this unit?, is the pump the recommended size.?
You can let the collection drop back into the sump for the first few days. |

and another half is newly mixed saltwater. I did let the collection drop back to the sump...but still..... I never heard anyone else has this kind of problem (the owner of my LFS says so too.....) :confused: :arrow: :neutral: :arrow: :frown: :arrow: :cry: |
Did you add anything to the water, such as a conditioner ? That'll do it.
|
as EmilyB said, conditioners can cause alot of extra bubbles, especially the type of conditioners that advertise that they "coat" your fish... also medications such as "melafix" create volcanic bubble eruptions in skimmers....
|
will red slime remover cause this to happen?
|
Yes, BIG TIME :biggrin:
|
I only put the right amount of "Aqua Safe" to my RO water......is it gonna cause the problem?
thank you all for replying! |
If you have to use a conditioner, use Prime. It will not affect your skimmer. :biggrin:
|
Tetra Aquasafe will definitely cause flooding of the skimmer cup. It happens to me everytime I use Aquasafe with all of my skimmers.
