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.
