Foam?

[Bulldog39]

Setup my tank to start cycling and have it going into a filter sock. Noticed that I have foam overflowing my filter sock. Why is it doing this I don't have a skimmer running till my cycle is done. Any idea

Do the overflow pipes go into the water or above the surface?

Pretty normal.. turbulence can create some bubbles/foam.. and combine that with a new filter sock and voila..
Don't worry about it..

And FYI.. you can certainly run your skimmer now.. Nothing wrong in doing that..

It's comes in above the water line should I lower it to come in below the water

Seems like that would be loud.

Yea I would definitely want my drain to end underwater. I like that I can hear some water running through my tank, would hate to hear the splashing of it all draining.
