skimmerless after chemi-clean

[Neil]

this is a question to anyone that has ever used this to control a cyano outbreak- how long did you skimmer go ape on you after the 48 treatment period and 20% water change?

[Robw]

It was about 4 weeks and several water changes before it was back to normal. The skimmer would work for a day or so then go nuts about 2 weeks after treatment. It did clear up my algae problem

my euroreef is on the lowest setting and its just puking out foam and water. not sure what to do as i head out of town this week.

unplug it, your tank will be fine over the weekend

its better then the sludge poring back into the tank when it gets to full. IMO

i will be gone for a week. would i be able to get by leaving the skimmer off and having the fish fed every 2 days? its a 96 gal with 135 lbs of LR, some LPS corals and 7 fish.

I didn't use a skimmer on my tank for almost 4 months (with many LPS and a solitary SPS). Everything was fine. You should be, too :)

well, im doing another 20% w/c tonight and will leave the skimmer off for the week with minimal feeding
