Just got my 75 hooked up and running, just waiting for the right lighting, due in next week. Added 120 pounds of live rock on Sunday. I have a corner overflow into a gallon sump, and the protein skimmer in the sump. I screwed up and used "stresscoat" and now my skimmer is goinf NUTS! Anyway to correct this? Turn off skimmer, water change, another chemical?????

Well, what do you mean by your skimmer is going nuts? What is happening?

As soon as I turn on the skimmer the bubbles fill the collection cup in 10-15 seconds. It is a Berlin 75-250 triple pass skimmer. I thought I read somewhere in another post where this has happened before and was really hoping for a fix. Thanks!

You have to adjust the airflow going into your skimmer. If you dont have one, go buy an air valve at your LFS, they cost about 69 cents. Put it on the end of the airline and adjust it until the bubbles create a very fine dry foam in the collection cup. Any time you add something to your tank, chances are that you will have to adjust the air flow on your skimmer.
