Skimmer help . ?

Butt ton of micro bubbles. I added prazapro and turned the skimmer off for a 3 days. I'm planning on a water change. Maybe run carbon . Missing anything? Had been running fine . Never unplugged skimmer before. Might have got air in the line. Thinking it's the parazipro causing the issue

A lot of medications will cause foaming due to what they are made of. Do a large water change and add carbon to remove the residuals. Dial the skimmer back lower for a dryer skim to avoid the overflow.
