 water change/skimmer question Just did a water change and now my skimmer has gone crazy.Instead of adjusting it everytime I do a water change(normally 10% a week)can I just turn it off for a day or so?BTW I have a octopus extreme int. ps-150.

| Re: water change/skimmer question Yes, it would be fine, but you shouldn't need to shut it off for that long. Do you make up your fresh saltwater ahead of time? Premixing your saltwater and letting it remain in a bucket for 24-48 hours should help.

| Re: water change/skimmer question My skimmer gets tons of bubbles in the main tube after a water change, after a few hours it's back to normal.
