Epoxy causing micro bubbles in skimmer - suggested remedies?

[Vicboihere]

Hi all,

I recently had a bad experience with using epoxy to re-mount 3 frags:

- Red Sea Max Nano
- Mixed reef tank, LPS/SPS/Softies - 2 months old
- Boston Aqua Farm Coralline Colored Reef Epoxy

Currently, I am cleaning out my 100 micron filter sock daily to try and capture some of the particulate. I changed out my activated carbon (Hoping some of this stuff get captured by the carbon). I'm going to do a 15 % water change tonight, should I blow off the top of the sand to try an get any particulate that settled out of the system?

Suggestions most welcome.

Thanks,

Usually for me after a day it subsides. I've had my skimmer overflow soon after using epoxy. I just take the skimmer cup off for a day and if it is still too foamy, I'll dial the skimmer back for a couple days.

Running carbon may help in combination with the skimmer. Run it on the wet side and empty, rinse repeat

Use superglue gel.

Use superglue gel.

Never, ever using anything else again.

Thank you, yes my plan of attack. Just got the protein skimmer up and running correctly after the water change.
