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?

Can't see anything in the water column. I replaced my carbon this morning

[christyf5]

thats why I said light outbreak. the stuff in our skimmer is pretty concentrated, you would likely not see it in the water column. hopefully the carbon helps though

it happens to me when there is food left overs
or if i forgot to remove whats not eaten in the clip
rooggers reef food or my pellets
the next day, for sure my skimmate is neon green or blue
