a quick taste test (this will be even more gross in a minute) and i immediately knew it was salt water...

searched everywhere and found no leak, then i heard a strange bubbling noise from inside the sump. yep, the skimmer was set to skim very wet for initial breakin. now, a few weeks later and food being added to the tank daily for the anemone, the skimmer is going crazy and overflowing. it is in the sump, so that is no big deal, except the skimmer slid a tad forward and the collection cup is touching the insulated panel that covers the sump. this is allowing the overflowing skimmate to run down the panel, then down the front of the origial stand inside the skin and out the bottom of the tank on to the floor (remember the taste test?) yuk!

all fixed now and waiting for my first shipment of critters soon

i like your threads haha ,

so with my skimmer if i adjust it to closed theres isnt any foam or water if i open it to much it pretty much fills my bucket with water did it twice ,

i know i need to find my point where its just foam right ? i took my anenome out of the tank in fear it was going , my water and skimmed foam has been pretty clear , i dont think this is due to me taking it out , but i also had alot of diatoms , so i cut down on food and moved things around a bit , im not sure what all im asking , i guess am i doing this right? lol
