I was wondering if I am doing anything wrong for the past week. I am only running my protein skimmer while I'm at home and not at work. I realize most run there's 24/7. but recently when I leave it unattended it seems to just start running hard and filling the cup and then when I return it's over flowing and water on the floor. I run it 6 hours Monday through Thursday and the Friday 6 to 7 hours and then Saturday and sunday 12 -14 hours. I turn it off if I leave the house if I know i'm going to be gone for more then 10 minutes at a time. just for the reason I don't want to clean up water anymore.
I haven't made any changes to my tank at all. no additives at all. i'm running an eshopps PSK-100H. HOB Skimmer. I have had it since april. I did however do a thorough cleaning of the skimmer last week. Is it breaking in again and I need to wait a while for it to break back in? I have dialed it down as much as I could on this skimmer. so there has to be something causing the overflowing of the skimmer or some changes I'm not a ware of going on with the tank. My last WC was this past Friday. and still it hasn't approved the problem. I might have to call eshopp for support on this.
