Hello all - just got my protein skimmer up and running, its a Reef Octopus - Classic 150-INT.
This thing is bubbling over like crazy! Immediately right when I turn it on bubbles overflowing everywhere. Even when I unplug the collection cup drain, the bubbles are still overflowing. Lots and lots of bubbles overflowing into the sump. Water level in the sump is 8 inches, right in-between the manufacturers recommendations.
Just turned it on today, I read in some other threads its best to keep the skimmer running for a little bit to work itself out, I know its only been a day, but this thing is pouring out bubbles like crazy. I must be doing something wrong here. Will try to upload a picture soon too.
Has anyone else experienced this?
