skimmer cup over flow !

[LIM CHYE HUAT]

if i use selley knead it epoxy, my macro skimmer cup always overflow, have to empty a lot of time. the water level is going lower cause of this, should i keep emptying the cup until it can skim again or just switch off the skimmer ? help !

what i think is you off it also no use cos if u off it now, the DOC which the skimmer is supposed to remove remains

then wen u on it, its jus gonna overflow again since its gonna remove the same amt of DOC.

i suggest changing water...change to bring down DOC then skimmer won't produce that much

or maybe try another epoxy?...not sure on this, jus a suggestion to change brand

Alot of epoxies causes the skimmer to start excessive foaming, best if you try not to get too much residue of the epoxy in the water...

For me, I always leave the skimmer on...

but i havent found the cure yet.
