HI Folks,

I've been running an Reef Octopus 110int in my 75 gallon corner since 4/2015 and it's been running fine. However, I just completed a water change using oceanic sea salt. The level in the sump has not changed.

However, now the skimmer is overflowing in a matter of minutes. Using the gate valve does nothing. I've unplugged it until I can solve the problem. This is also happening on my 55 gallon that has a hang on the back reef octopus skimmer.

Does anyone have any ideas how to solve these problems?

thanks,

cestep6

I'm noticing mine is doing that too, but I've only had RO for about 2months now. I'm thinking the water level is too high, that's the only time mine does it, is when I top off the water. Any RO experts out there?

Mine does the same for a short period of time. Sometimes depending on how much cleaning or water changes I do it may take several hours.
