Please help rsk skimmer problem

[jcovell]

Please help my skimmer was working fine for a while and out of nowhere makes microbubbles and overflows and I have it set on the lowest setting and I also haven’t added anything to effect the skimmer... I took it out cleaned it made sure nothing was in the pump and it’s still overflowing like crazy

How is this an emergency

Got the thread just for you:

Comments invited: Why do some really good skimmers have seemingly random overflow?

Does anyone not have this problem sometime? IMO, this happened very often. We all attributed this to something happened to our tank or something happened to the skimmer. Either something spawned, certain thing got added though food that increase the surfactants of the water, increase nutrient...

Something may have spilled into the tank by accident. Try changing out your carbon. I don't recommend "Carbon impregnated foam pads" use the real stuff.
