I'm posting this here as it's a chemical and I don't know where else this can go.
Long story short, I put some Molykote 111 on the magnet and shaft of my 2 MP10's on Saturday as I cleaned out my wet sides and took the opportunity to do a little more maintenance to them.
Fast forward to today and my skimmer hasn't produced any skimmate at all since then. It just bubbles like boiling water and there are microbubbles being produced but no skimmate. Venturi is clear and nothing has changed as far as the level of water in the skimmer or how much air is getting into it. Also, there is plenty of DOC in the water as I haven't done a water change since last week since I've been dealing with a bit of a dino outbreak and I've been overfeeding and adding Neophos and Neonitro to increase my nutrient levels, but that's another mess.
Bottom line is, how do I remove this stuff from the water and get my skimmer working again? I've already cleaned off the Molykote from the MP10's and also cleaned my skimmer as well...
Thank you in advance for any help!
