Sump super bubbly

[TheShepherdTrio]

Any ideas on how to help alleviate this amount of bubbling in the sump? The bubbling was fairly minor until we started dosing paraguard for a few days. Now it’s like we put a bottle of soap in the tank and are having a hard time getting it under control. Changing filter socks helps for about 15-20 minutes then it starts back up again. Have not yet done a water change since dosing the paraguard, which was our next thing to do. But beyond that I’m at a loss as to what else to do.

Stop using paraguard. Find something else that is equivalent to suit your needs

We’ve already stopped. We stopped like 4-5 days ago.

Carbon or a water change now

Shortly after posting this thread, the bubbles died down. Things are much better now

That's good, something got into my sump the other day also and the water was fizzing and over flowing the skimmer. Seemed to go away a few hours later. Maybe something on my hand as I was moving corals.

Same thing happened to me using chemiclean. Had to run my skimmer to a bucket. Ended up with about 2 gallons before things settled.

It sucks because it throws the salinity off too
