Hi, I have a question regarding a HOB skimmer I own.
It’s the bubble magus E3 HOB, I finally got it tuned recently but when my gf fed the fish one morning it went crazy out of no where and overflowed out the collection cup after I fed many times and it was not overflowing. Tried to re-tune it but had issues where water was overflowing out the wedge pipe and this was with the blue dots lined up.
Tried looking online everywhere to understand how a wedge pipe could over fill when it wasn’t happening before but no luck. Can I please get some help on how a wedge pipe can over flow.
Skimmer is still very new, got the skimmer beginning of December 2023 and I had been running it for about 2 weeks. Finally got it to settle and was actually making some dry skim for about 2 days and then the incident happened.
Thanks in advance
