My 1 year reef octopus sro 5000 skimmer gone crazy after dosing some mb7! I've been using mb7 for the last 3 years but yesterday I opened a new bottle and dosed as usual.
After an hour I saw my sump full of foam and my skimmer flooding. I turned it off for an hour and tried to start it again but same thing happened. So I turned it off for the night and today back to normal after returning it.
 
Happened to me. Had to leave skimmer off for about a week. And i did three water changes. Finally stopped fizzing
 
Probably went crazy with all of the organics in the water. Same thing happens if you use something like Chem Clean to get rid of Cyano. Had to wait two days and a water change before turning back on.
