Hi I am new to Marine fish and coral keeping although had considerable experience in tropicals.
My tank had been set up for 4 months and is settling well
I have a Bubble Magus circle 5 skimmer which was working perfectly but now is giving me nightmares.
When we change the sock now the skimmer started overflowing with clean waster- no foam at all.
The top cup filled in seconds so I had to take the stopper off and let it drain into the sump.
After 7 days it slowed down and I replaced the stopper. Then we had to change the sock again
and the same thing happened again. Once again no foam.
Today I noticed a collection of what looks like salt in the sump at the foot of the skimmer.
We have turned the power off and on again but I do not know what to do to get it working properly.
There are air bubbles in the bottom and it is set on minimum.
Any help would be appreciated.
