Adding so much fresh "clean" water diluted me down way lower than I like to keep it I like my no3 to be North of 20 so I'm fine with the jump. I'm super dry skimming currently, even I get where I want to be, I'll start tuning wetter, as well as turning the fuge light on more that 6 hours here and there. I've got an entire fuge to fill with macro for the long term.

What's the skimmer issue?

How many days has it been running, and does it have all last a little buildup of crap inside the neck?
Been running for 2 days but was a used skimmer so the break in period should be minimal right? Its bubbling great right height everything like that for water level but over flowing and cant control the air balance at all.

It effectively will have to break in every time the main fracture tube (bottle neck) gets cleaned.

This is why I don't clean the body of my skimmer. Cup only.
I sometimes scrub down into the skimmer with a brush.
