crazy micro bubbles
 
Okay so I bought a bh90 reef ocotopus hob skimmer. I DO NOT HAVE A SUMP, just making sure thats clear hahaha

Okay so the skimmer was doing great and getting good skimmate, then I added corals and it started going crazy, I think because of my epoxy I used. so I did a 25% water change and instead of the skimmer overflowing every 10 seconds, it would overflow every 30 seconds. Now it is making micro bubbles like crazy, I have a tube at the bottom of the collection cup going back into the tank so the cup never overflows.

Problems: I am not able to skim anything as it would overflow in 30 seconds so I just have the tube going back into my tank. Yes I have it all the way open, that didnt help :( Now it is making micro bubbles like crazy and I mean there are sooo many of them it is insane.

I would greatly appreciate any help that you guys can give.

Oh and I added the corals on Saturday and I still cant use the skimmer because it would overflow, so giving it timing isnt working. There has to be something else I can do, I just dont know what that is
