What's going on with my simmer

badstorm48 · May 12, 2016

So, this past week my skimmer keeps filling up really fast. It was working great. I did use some marine epoxy to put about 6 frags in or so, but it said that it would only do it for about 36 hours, but its been a week and still doing it. I took the skimmer apart and cleaned it and it was fine. I've only had the skimmer for about 3 months now and haven't had any problems. Does anyone have any experience with this or know a way to fix it? I have a bubble magus NAC 3.5 skimmer if that helps. I will buy another skimmer if need be, but don't really have 250 to get a new skimmer at the moment and would rather not if I can get this one working again.

It's the Marine Epoxy.

Give is a little while longer, maybe run some new carbon/charcoal.

Okay thank you. It just started to worry me cause we all know how expensive the equipment we use is. It's time to replace the hob filter any way. I run a hob filter with a sump really just to push a little carbon through since I don't have a way to set it up in my sump. I just didn't expect it to take this long for it to go away. I have to do my weekly water change any way tomorrow so hopefully that will help.
