Help with the skimmer

Picked up a Super Skimmer 125 2 days ago to replace my pos Seaclone. It worked flawlessly and made more skimmate in one night than my seaclone did in 2 months. I had high ammonia (I assume because the seaclone was not working at all) and did a 50% water change....since then, even with the skimmer turned all the way down, it makes too many bubbles and fills up too fast. (about an hour to fill the cup, and not dark) Everything is at the right height according to the directions, and nothing is clogging my outlet. It is in my sump. I realize this is still in the 3 day break in period....is it going to slow down? and why after a water change would it go crazy?

Did you use any dechorinator when you did your water change and if so what brand?

 

Yes, ....Kent and aquarium Pharmacuticals

 

Does it have anything that says it aids the fishes slime coat. If so those generally make skimmer go nuts. I would use Prime or AmquelPlus.

 

Well, I used some Stress coat too..........lotsa slime! How long will that last?!

 

As much as a week.

Don'tadothat...

+1 on the AmquelPlus if you are not using RODI
