Hey, I just finished epoxying my rockwork together and now of course my skimmer is overflowing, would it be best to let it continue overflowing or keep it off for a few days?

I’d just turn it down a little and let it do its thing. Epoxy always does that but IME it stops in a day or so.

+1 this is normal, just turn it down or off and everything will be fine in a few days.

I turned it down as far as it would go but it is still overflowing over the head, also I had to use a ton of epoxy for my rockwork.

Since what’s overflowing is very diluted I wouldn’t worry about it.
