Christyef Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I tried to take a video, but can’t on Tapatalk. My Skimmer has been doing this 24 hours. Any ideas why? Ive got the valve wide open. Only thing different I’ve done is some Chemi-clean, but that was 3 days ago. Has it not been long enough?

jolt Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Chemiclean can make a skimmer go crazy for TWO WEEKS in my experience Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaac Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 well, most recently, i used the skimmer to do the post-chemiclean waterchange. just replace water as it took it out. worked quite well. skimmer returned to normal the next couple hrs. 1st 2 days skimmer wasnt on at all.. only air stones.

Christyef Posted June 9, 2018 Author Share Posted June 9, 2018 it'll do that w/ chemiclean. if you didnt say that, i woudla said you need to raise it out of the water a couple inches.when I got it, I wasn’t sure where to set it. At what depth. But if I raise it much higher, the pump will be out of the water. I’ve unplugged it and will do a small water change Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just do what Isaac said and use that as a water change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
