I changed my filter sock last night and walked away like usual. I guess I didn't let it dry enough because after noticing a LOT of bubbles in my DT, I checked my skimmer and saw it overflowing back into the sump. So everything from my collection cup went back into my tank :mad2: THe cup was about 3/4 full.

Has this ever happened to you? Is there anything I should be worried about?

I have had it happen as I imagine many have. You should be ok. If you are really concerned you can increase the skimming and top off what it takes out with fresh salt water.

Happens to the best of us. You will be fine, the skimmer should skim it right back out of your system.

I figured that I'll just have to skim what I've put back in. Just annoying!!

I've done the very same thing w/ a brand new sock that made alot of foam.
Not a biggie, but still frustrating.
