    Skimmer going ape chit

    in Out of Bounds

    Posted

    You could try pulling out the drain tube that you trun to adjust the water height. Then put the cup on kind of sideways so some of the water overflows and just the upper neck just starts to skim a little. Photo attached of what I mean by tipping the cup. Over a few days slowly straighten the cup as needed to keep skimming. Should pull what ever it is out slowly over a few days. Thats what I do after running chemi clean.

    I’m wondering if it’s something in my tank. I did another freshwater rinse and ran it in a 5 gallon bucket of fresh salt in the garage and nothing, hits the tank and go bat ish crazy. I did dose 4ml of vodka over the past 2 days but I don’t think 4ml of vodka would cause this?

    So I snagged a RLSS from coralvue outlet and they shipped it like a 5 year old would and the skimmer was broken during shipping so for the mean time I grabbed a curve 5 from offer up for cheap. The previous owner vinegar bathed it and it looked brand new when I got it home. I tossed it in ro water just to rinse it and put in in the sump. It has been doing this for 24 hours... water depth doesn’t matter, amount or air coming in doesn’t matter much either. Anyone experienced this after a vinegar bath? I’ve done 100 percent vinegar on my old skimmers and never had one do this after. Usually about 2 minutes of crazy and then it settles down.

    I can have it in 1 inch of water and it still foams like mad and overflows. Venturi is clean and no restrictions either. 36de28aa58856702747bbdc71e8fda0a.jpg

    Slow/ not loading pages on Tapatalk

    I am on an iPhone, and also have an s9 and both phones seems to be loading pages extremely slow and sometimes not at all.

    If I’m browsing the classifieds once I get to the bottom on the page where it would need to load more threads it’s just shows the loading logo and spins. Anyone else experiencing this?

    Moving my tank

    I would setup the holding tank! I would suggest getting new drain and return fittings for the reefer just to be safe. I barely got mine sealed after I moved it I guess it common once they are taken off to leak.
    Plus that will give you more time to play with aquascape and such if you wanted to. Being rushed sucks in this hobby it stresses me out at least to have to rush through a tank move.
