    could be. Keep an eye on your skimmer.

    ive actually had it off for past couple of days due to it not working right, i was going to plugg it in today to get it to work again before my new fish gets here tomorrow. Should i just leaved it turned off incase the spawning causes it to act up

    he's still doing it, video is almost done

    Wait a few hours after it stops spawning and then turn it on. Still keep an eye on the skimmer though.

    tank is getting a little cloudy now and some of the corals have their feeders out, guess their catching the spawn
