Hi all. Skimmer been working ok since I put it in about 4 weeks ago. It's an in tank hang on type.
The last few weeks it's filled the cup about a quarter every 4 days with a light brown liquid. Yesterday I noticed it was foaming quite a bit and I checked the cup and it was over flowing even though I only emptied it 4 days ago. I've just done a water change and obviously the level dropped in the skimmer but as I'm re filling the tank, I'm about 6 inches off the top of the skimmer and the foam is climbing right to the top.
The air inlet is on maximum because the first few days I couldn't get it to do anything but now it seem was over the top.
Do I simply turn the air down to fine tune it now it's bedded in or could there be another issue as to why it's suddenly going crazy?
I have had cloudy water for a couple of days and it seem to coincide with that too.
Thanks
