Skimmer overflowing after Chemiclean. I have tried doing a water change of 20% and have run the skimmer allowing it to spill back into the sump for 3 days. It is still showing uncontrollable overflow. What could I try next?
Thanks

Another water change. Takes time to get harsh chemicals out of the tank.
 
If you have a drain plug in your skimmer cup, skim it out to another bucket. I did this several weeks ago on my 200g tank - super easy and effective!
