Hi guys,
Thanks for all the help so far, I've been keeping everything I'm doing in a log as well as the suggestions you're all offering. I've recently added a new CPR backpack skimmer to my 18 gallon. Now, I know it has a 48 hour breaking in period, so I'd expect that after three days, there would be little or no bubbles shooting out of the output tube. This is not really the case. When I get home everyday at about 5:30 pm, there are no bubbles coming out of the output. But as soonas I add my reef additives, calcium, and food, the skimmer goes nuts and starts spewing out bubbles like there's no tomorrow! It does this for the whole night! Finally, when I wake up at about 7 am, the skimmer has calmed down a little and the bubbles have lessened. Now, my question is what is causing my skimmer to freak out like thaT? I don't move the skimmer or touch it when I add food and additives, could it be a chemical reaction that causes the bubbles to lose cohesion in the skimmer cup? I've been calling my LFS for help, but they're ALWAYS swamped. Thanks again for your help.
