Bubble Magus 5 overflow

Khwee · Dec 27, 2019

Hi All!

So my skimmer(bubble magus 5) has been running for a couple of months now. It was working well after the break in peroid but after I cleaned it last weekend and go crazy overflow which is expected. But it continued for an entire week! So i thought i would clean it again and it is still overflowing! I dont know what to do. Its sitting in about 9” of water. Ive heard bubble magus is proned to this. Anyone got any ideas?

Adjust the water level via the standpipe and see how things go.
Mine will do the same occasionally

Let it run then.
They (all skimmers) will occasionally go bonkers. Usually having to do with something in the tank.
If necessary, use the drain tube into another container. Just keep an eye on the salinity if an ATO is being used
