not uncommon with dosing certain items like medications.
I am not familiar with that one in particular and if it advises to keep skimmer on or shut skimmer off. If it does not address it in the instructions then feel free to just shut off the skimmer for the next 12-24 hours. Its doing no harm here other than making a mess perhaps.

Dang that's a lot of foam from hitting one aiptasia. I've not used f aiptasia but have used aiptasia x on numerous ones at once with no effect on the skimmer. Must be different stuff in the x I guess :thinking-face:
EDIT. As stated tho just turnoff the skimmer for a while, it won't hurt anything.

Happened to my HOB last week. At least you have a sump. You could put oil(vege, peanut, olive) in the chamber to help pop the foam. Do not let it back in the sump.

Interesting, I just turn the circulation pumps off when using F aiptasia. Never seen that reaction, except when I use putty for fragging.

Looks like the Aiptasia are having a spawning frenzy to overcome the application of A-X?
