Overflowing skimmer

Hello everyone,new to this forum but been reading it for a while,good people.
I have a 34g Red Sea max aquarium up and running now for about 2 and a half months.I recieved a couple of clown fish from a nephew of mine(how could you say no)and noticed one had some white slime on its body,removed carbon filter and turned of protein skimmer and added some Melafix to start the med process.The next day the little guy didnt make,I wasent surprised but my question is how long does it take to turn on the skimmer back on as it keeps overflowing with clear white foam after one treatment of Melafix(also put back carbon filter) Its been 3 days now,any thoughts?

 

Am not familiar with effects of your medication...but sounds to me like you might need a couple back to back good sized water changes.

 

When you turn a skimmer back on it usually takes it 48 hours to stablize. Can you adjust the skimmer back a bit so it doesn't overflow and then in 2 days start to adjust it up again.

 

Our Tunze 9010 returns right back to proper operations after turning it off, but after feeding the tank or having our hands in the tank it may take up to an hour to return to normal operations...

 

adjust the skimmer and also water changes...they are a godsend in terms of inhibiting things from going wrong and establishing a somewhat normal level in terms of water parameters amoung others.
