Hey all,

I have a reef octo 1000 in sump. Its been running great since the start. Yesterday I spent some time with the tank. Did a major general clean, nothing out of the ordinary, then I did some aquascaping.

Since then my skimmer has gone insane. Regardless of water level or amount I have it open/closed, there is a continuous heavy flow of water/bubbles into the collection cup. I've routed a drain line from the cup back into the sump and its running like a faucet.

The only thing I can think of is that I used some aqua-safe epoxy putty to secure a few rocks.

I'm unsure if the unit is malfunctioning or if its a reaction from the epoxy in the water.

Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated.

The putty can make your skimmer go nuts. Not sure why you cant turn it down and get it to stop

Just take the cup off for a couple of days.
