Blue Skimmate?
 
i woke up this morning and looked at my skimmer and the skimmate is blueish green.

Prob something you added
 
What did you add to the tank yesterday? Spirulina brine? Formula 2 pellets? Mint schnapps?

your skimmer is running somewhat wet. that is what that is I have it all the time with my skimmer its pulling nutrients out while running somewhat wet.

hmmm. well it usually runs dry but last night when i cleaned the filter sock and put it back in. the skimmer started bubbling higher.

but still cant understand why blue. if its skimming wet, its usually a light brown

Well your filter sock was washed in what that would be why it's going all bubbly

Another reefing mystery. Perhaps you have a very light outbreak of green algae?
