    I bought the bi onic 2 part dosing for alk/calcium. i started using it and everytime i use it about a day later my skimmer goes crazy and overflows for almost 2 days or more unless i just run the overflow into a drain.

    pH is 8.0 to 8.2
    Alk 9
    calcium 440
    mag little high at 1400 - 1440

    Anyone have this issue or have any ideas to remedy this.

    Skimmer is a reef octopus xps - 2000 i think. 120 gallon tank with 30 gallon sump

    Am using the same product. Dosing about 5 ml per day and running an Eshopps 75 skimmer and no problems. How much are you dosing and how much time between part A & B?
