Tank: reefer 250 running for 1 year
Water parameters:
Ca. 445
Mg. 1320
Kh. 8
P04. 0.04
No3. 10
Salinity 1.025
Clarisea 5000
Skimmer: octo elite 150s placed as per the recommended hight
The issue is the old skimmer octo regal stopped skimming and I replaced it by the elite and running now for almost 2 weeks.
Massive of micro bubbles comming out of the skimmer, no skimate at all, only bubbles no foam created.
I've been in the same issue for more than 2 months, and I thought the old skimmer was broken but it seems something going wrong. Will never imagine the amount of micro bubbles
Please help
 
Wondering if your Clarisea 5000 is effecting it.

Have you tried to "pull out" your Clarisea 5000, for about a week?

I did but only for 2 days, I was afraid to leave the tank without filtration
 
lots of people run without any filtration at all. worst case youre gunna have a bit more algae next week.

Yeah,
Two days should have been enough time.

I've seen things like coral putty make a skimmer go wacky
 
I really got tired of this, I downgraded the clarisea to 3000, I'm trying now a smaller skimmer (deltec 600i) run on low speed.
Thinking to turn off the skimmer for a week but worried about the PH
 

IF YOU HAD TO TAKE A REEFING EXAM, WOULD YOU PASS?
