Hi....so i have my new tank up and running. Been going for about 3 weeks, cycle is not quite finished but getting close. I do have two clown fish in the tank as i had thought the cycle was done but i was wrong. Tank is a Red Sea 525 (139gal)
My issue my Red Sea 300 skimmer will not stop overflowing.
The gate is wide open and i have tried raising the skimmer until its in only about 3 inches of water (recommended is 6-7)
I have the skimmer running with the drain hose open so that it just dumps back into the sump otherwise it just fills up in about 20 seconds.
I let the skimmer run for about 24 hours straight to see if maybe it would work itself out but this morning its just as bad as yesterday.
I also fear that IF it starts working i still have to lower the skimmer to the correct water depth and that will make it overflow all over again.
ANY advice will be awesome!
Thanks,
Jeff
