    Hey guys,
    I ran some chemi clean in my tank because of an outbreak. I then ran carbon and did a 40% water change to remove traces of the medicine. After setting up the skimmer I found that it bubbles way too much and foam goes into the collector cup, so much so that I'm afraid to leave it on. I have adjusted the height repeatedly to no avail. I'm now running on 5 days with no skimming and am growing concerned because I can't change 20% water every week.
    BTW, I did rinse the skimmer completely.

    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.
