    From what I've read about it on other sites, no one really knows why it does that to a skimmer, but it must be from some chemical that leeches out. Sometimes it works on my skimmer, sometimes it doesn't. Usually lasts for about an hour. Probably best to run some carbon for a little while.

    You guys are probably going to laugh at me but about 8 months ago I used gorilla glue to stick multiple rocks together. I did it out side of the tank of course. I held the rocks together and kept the rocks wet by using a cup and pouring salt water over them for an hour. That’s how long it takes for the glue to be 99% cured. Remember that this glue foams up to cover gaps. Anyway, then I put them in a curing tank for 2 weeks. People are always wondering where I got such unique live rock boulders. Then I show them where the coralline has covered the glue seams. It's funny that no one else has tried this as you absolutely need a saw, hammer, or a gorilla to get them apart again. Let me know if any of you guys have tried it. -SoLiD
