![]() Do you have an ATO? My BK did the same thing until I installed one. It may have to be kept in your sump at a certain water level.

![]() It's most likely oils in the tank such as when you feed mysis or have your hand in there. Are you adding garlic to the food?
I found that this problem can somewhat be alleviated with a gate valve mod. |

![]() And then it stops overflowing on it's own?....or do you do something to rectify it? I'm thinking the airline is getting encrusted with salt?...or snails plugging it up?

![]() no, I usually turn that adjuster pipe to open more to bring it down, but then i have to close it more again later to skim again otherwise it's just too low.

![]() Tough one. Maybe it's something you're feeding or dosing? Although some foods make a skimmer drop, some will raise it. Like Silversides for instance, to a certain degree. Just throwing ideas out there.

![]() How long has your vertex been up and running?
Could you do a PH reading first thing in the am. to see if there is an abnormal swing? Do you shut off any flow pumps at night? How long after your lights shut off does it start to overflow? Kevin |
