new frags --> skimmer goes crazy?

[GhostCon1]

Oils on the arm? Y'all must be some oily dudes.

and the fix?

Take a picture of your skimmer and how it's sitting in/on the tank. that may help quite a bit. It may very well be a water level problem.

probably not tank water level. it never fluctuates more than 1/4".

anyways, after feeding today, its skimming normal again. lets hope it stays that way

thanks everyone

Oils from your skin will only make the bubbles go down --> fact

Same as when you feed mysis or any other fatty foods.

it is the water level in the sump. Either you took some out during the acclimation of the new frags or you dumped the water that the frags were in into your system.

Either way, you need a stable water level in your sump in order to get the skimmer to stay dialed in.
