Skimmer and superglue

[Timbits]

I glued a bunch of frags last night and woke up the next morning with the skimmer going insane pouring overtop. Didn't do anything else to the tank out of the ordinary. Trying to figure out why, could the glue have caused this? Never had a issue before but this time I did glue a lot more frags than before. I thought only epoxy caused skimmers to go crazy. I used the loctite brand btw. Thanks.

I've never had any issues with superglue, also if you use vertex epoxy your skimmer won't go crazy

+1. I have used few different brands of glues and nothing has caused my skimmer to go crazy.

Could be anything, maybe your snails or clams were spawing during the night?

Nope, no snails or clams in the tank...

Do you use filter socks? My skimmer can some times go nuts after I change a filter sock.
