protein skimmer

[Johnwhitnab]

i turned my protein skimmer off for a couple days and plunged it back in a couple hours ago and the bubbles won’t stop. the nozzle is turned all the way down. does anyone know why it’s doing this?

Did you add anything to the water? was anything in general added to the tank?

i did add someone chemiclean stuff for this red slime on the sand about 4 days ago and that’s why i unplugged it. would a water change make it stop?

Water change then make some extra saltwater. Turn skimmer on lowest setting and let it collect. Empty the cup as it gets full. Replace the water as you go. You will have to use the skimmer to get out the stuff that is making it over skim. Run some carbon after you get all of it out and that should help!
