Another skimmer issue

[gregzz4]

Thanks both of you
I've actually unplugged it now and will deal with it later
I just got finished prepping the QT with it's RKL and am heating up some RO for the NSW for tomorrow's WC

I also have been acclimating the snails and hermit, so the skimmer just got in the way

I will plug it back in soon and see what it does, but when I unplugged it, it was peeing me off and wasting water with basically nothing to throw away being produced

[gregzz4]

Yep, that's it for the skimmer tonight
I tried to let it foam out, but it just keeps puking water and then the ATO fires up
I tried it again and no luck so it's gonna stay off-line overnight
I'll try it again tomorrow after a WC

take the cup off and let it flow Greg get what ever is causing the bubbles out.

Ya, I found my was a bit screwy too when my tank was new. I also find it's weird after I clean it. It works way better after it slimes up a bit.

Thanks again Sub and for your input daplatapus
I'll try turning it on again in a min or so with the cup off
Such a waste to have it running over though .....

And I just finished cleaning it !!!!

It was running fine before, and after, the epoxy
I saw it running on the previous owner's setup and no issues

Tomorrow is WC day just to see .......

[gregzz4]

OK, it's running for now. I'll watch it until bedtime
I'm keeping the foam low

Thanks for all your input

I'll report back when I can

How long has the skimmer been running?

Mine was very moody for the first couple of days, but it settled down. Aminos still seem to make it go a bit nuts, though.
