Just let it overflow into the sump for now.... It should settle down after a while..... Hopefully before you leave for vacation....

I let it overflow for a little while but didnt seem to settle. I have work tonight, so about 8-9hrs of overflowing should settle it. But if it doesn't settle, any suggestions?? I noticed algae growth with the skimmer being off. And for a weeks vacation I'll be scared to see what the tank will look like when I get back.

It could take a couple days for it to settle down..... Not what you wanna hear I'm sure but....... I suppose you could try a large water change, that may help.... The solution to pollution is dilution

Will do. I can get my fish sitter to watch the skimmer, and worse comes to worse get them to do a water change, thanks.

And im trying this hertana chemical from RC. Did some research on it, and talked to Kevin which he said its Reef Safe.
