+1...

This is what I had to do after my last dose of chemi pure.
I replaced by volume 75% of tank water over 3 changes and the skimmer wouldnt settle down until then.

careful mandosh...you're walking on thin ice... thats not the problem

In all seriousness, carbon, and running your skimmer without a cup (if you can handle microbubbles) will help calm it down.

Also changing some of the water to physically remove the antibiotics will help but I dont want to go on record suggesting that
