Default Skimmer Foam


The foam in my skimmer isn't condensing into the collection cup. It's
creeping out the vents and running down the side. I started replacing
evaporate with kalkwasser about 2 weeks ago w/ a drip line.

Any recommendations?

Default Skimmer Foam



Thats from all the crap that went on in here last night. It has
infiltrated into the tank.......should have turned off that computer
and paid it no attentio or maybe talked a bit of sense into my Sallee
in doing what was only right.....appologize for being wrong with his
assumption...The best, or make that worst is yet to come.......YOu can
pretty much count on that! Kurt, I thought you were a pretty fair and
even mimnded individual, but I would not have thought you would hang
in this place with so many self centered righteous ****wits like Wayne
and that dude pzsme whatever......One simple word would have probbaly
been more thansufficient in helping stave off what happened here due
to Carol Gulley...ever here of the word "SORRY" probably so, but
wayne is stil lookin up the meaning of it.......Hey its the usenet it
don't mean a thing to most......Have a good day Kurt......check out
creativereefing.com.......laid back bunch of reefers, lots of good
info and not as knit pickey as reef central......Even a bit of clean
humor on creative reefing.....

The Kalkwasser increases skimmer actions, so you
need to reduce the air input.

Sounds nasty, but unfortunatelly cannot help - did not happen to me.
Are you sure the skimmer is cleaned and there is no obstacle on
the way for the foam to collect properly ?

In my opinion, most protein skimmers are designed
wrong, too short of a riser tube, and lids that are
too close to the top of the riser tubes.

I'll do that, Tristan.

I can say that I'm sorry about the meltdown, but I'm use to walking
through **** storms. It's just part of life sometimes.

As you say, sometimes it's just best to turn off the computer, walk
away, and do something else for a while.

The problem is this happens over and over again with Tristan until the
group he's in is a mess.

Funny, all my skimmers work fine, so thats not much for your freaking
opinion now is it Wayne. Oh and that homebrew skimmer on your website,
who made that pityfull looking piece of ****..the local Goodwill
employees or what? You lost it WAyne, your group is gone bye
bye....maybe yu want to join the good folks at a nice laid back
unmoderated for themosyt part and very freindly forum called Creative
reefing.

Or I can see about putting you on the payroll and you can help us
finish off gutting this place and remodeling it to a new fast food for
trolls restaurant.
