why did my skimmer just stark to release tons of microbubbles out of the blue?


Is a bak pak 2. Just a few hours ago it started pouring them out. Why all of the sudden?
I even cleaned the skimmer pump but it still spewd microbubbles

Before it started I added a new zoo colony and a replacement foam sponge.

there are several things that can be added to the water column that will make a skimmer go nuts. one of the most common is the epoxy sticks used to fasten corals to the LR.
