Do you use or have done the following within the past two weeks?

- Add water conditioner such as Prime or AquaPlus.
- Glue down any corals with epoxy.
- changed your RO cartridges.

Not sure about prime, but I know that cycle will drive the skimmer nuts. I have a hob skimmer that I forgor to turn off when using cycle. Within minutes the skimmer overflowed. Worst part was some telephone equipment behind the tank ending up getting covered in foam. No telephone, tv or internet until things dried out. Won't forget that for a long time.

Prime or ANY water conditioner makes skimmers go crazy. I would switch to RO/DI ASAP.
