    What are you using for lighting on the tank?

    That could be it.. definitely give that a look. Might be time for a vinegar bath.

    My sump pump is due. :p It's always fun ripping that out. ::)

    The annoying thing is that the skimmer is more or less brand new. I made sure it worked for two weeks, cleaned the skimmer, and set it aside until I put it in the sump around Dec 28th. I don't see how it could be the issue yet but you never know. I think part of the issue is low nutrients in the tank right now hurting the head of foam.
