Why is my skimmer doing this?

[Mike7744]

Find my skimmer doing this today., the only thing I can think of is that my bio pellets are finally seeded could this, be bacteria being used by the bio pellets.
What do you think?

Is it tuned. You may have to re tune it. Did you add anything else in the tank that will make the skimmer go crazy?

I had this happen once. It was the felt filter pads I was using as a polisher.

In the past, I used soft felt sheets. But on this particular occasion, the sheets were rigid.

I stopped using the rigid felt and the problem stopped. I concluded that whatever the manufacturer used to make the sheets rigid was the cause.

It stopped this morning.\nThe skimmer is over a year old.

Glad it resolved on its own.

I'd still like to know what those bubbles are.

The ones I described were very thick and would lift the cover off of the skimmer.
