Tank 120g (system has been set up for 2 years)
3 Chamber Sump ~30g with skimmer in the center
400calc, 9alk, 5-10 nitrates, .05-1 PO4
Skimmer- Trigger Systems: Bursa (anyone know a good Trigger Systems Contact on R2R?)
So about 6 weeks ago I ran one round of Red Slime Remover. I have a 2/3rds dose and I followed the post dose instruction 2x. This means 2 rounds of carbon and 2 25% water changes. (skimmer still going crazy after this 1.5wk process)
Fast forward 4 weeks, more carbon and 4 10% water changes. That leads up to today. The skimmer is still super touchy and has been randomly going WAY out of control even at the lowest level possible. I still haven't been able to resume pre red slime remover levels at any point
What do you guys think I should do? Could it still be the red slime or is it an difference factor and the red slime is a coincidence?
I change nothing from my day to day that would make the skimmer go crazy on Wednesday afternoon and then gradually come down by Friday afternoon...
Also, skimmer pulls outside air from about 6" above grade. Could this possibly be a factor?
The skimmer has been soaked in vinegar in the last 5 months and I keep it clean and pay close attention to my tanks and gear daily.
Help me Reef2Reef, you're my only hope
