After doing some research I decided I was going to use filter socks on my system. I purchased a few from bulkreef supply. After receiving them, I threw them in the wash twice, with only using Hot water, Vinegar(in place of bleach) and extra rinse on both cycles. Then I let air dry.
After they were dry I took one and rinsed with rodi before putting in my tank. Turned all my pumps back on and OMG my skimmer (SCA-301) is crazy. On its lowest level as well. Still wanting to just pour into my cup. So I turned the skimmer off for now until i can get some answers.
So what Im wondering is, I thought after washing etc, I would not have this problem as most have had without washing first. What do I need to do? Something Im doing wrong? or Should I leave my skimmer off for a day after changing a sock?
Thanks!
