water change question

[taichimaster]

I just added a bunch of frags to my nano using epoxy. afterwards, my skimmer is going crazy out of control. I am guessing that I need to turn off my skimmer and just do water changes? Just making sure my plan is correct or should I just let it skim wet. I was worried by letting it skim wet I am getting lots of micro bubble and the corals are not happy.

My plan is to turn the skimmer off and do water changes the next couple of days. Am I correct. Just making sure.

any ideas?

I would just let it skim wet. Same thing happened to me, and it passes with time. Carbon may help too. I don't believe the water change helped much.

"my skimmer is going crazy out of control"
sound like you got the chemical warfare going on in your tank?

Could be the epoxy. It's a nano tank. And you said a bunch !!

Carbon could help with this as well as other thing's "chemical warefare" especially with non-sps corals in a tank with sps corals.

A lot of the epoxies that we use for corals do make our skimmers go crazy. Should settle down within a day or two.
