Aquarium Advice FINatic
Test your water before dosing it for anything. If you don't test for it, don't dose it.
I woke up this morning and my protein skimmer is spilling out bubble out of the mouth and filling cup with water in like 5-10 minutes. I have a Seaclone 100, and yes I know they are very finicky and not the greatest skimmer. And I am getting a coral life skimmer soon. But until I get it I need this one to work to hold of till that day.
Well your skimmer right now is undersized and overworked. However, the result of overflowing is due to the additive you put in your tank. The skimmer is removing it even before it can take effect. Keep in mind those additives are nutrients or dissolving food faster than normal. You can reduce it also by changing water.Ill try lifting the skimmer up, and for a 72 gallon should I be getting the reef octopus 2000? Isn't there a 1000?
