I was really odd. Shortly after I fed my fish last night I noticed an unusual amount of foam in the bottom of the the collection cup. There was a 2" tall foam head in the bottom of the cup sitting on top of the liquid. There wasn't much liquid because I cleaned the cup just the day before.
A few minutes later the cup was completely flooded and the foam was being pushed out of the vent holes in the cup lid. Some water flooded out through the lid too. Thank goodness I was in the room as I pulled the plug on the skimmer before too much of a flood occurred.
When I restarted the skimmer, the bubbles rose up to the top of the riser tube very quickly. I adjusted the telescoping puts down and restarted it. I kept doing this until I had lowered the pipes as low as they would go. It didn't overflow from that position, but it was close.
This morning the level in the skimmer has dropped down to where there isn't even any foam in the riser. I'll have to readjust it back to the normal setting tonight when I get home.
Any ideas what caused this?
Anyone else ever have this happen before?
I was surprised because the one thing that has always impressed me with the BK was the fact that it is always consistent in the water height.
The only thing at all that I did that was in any way out of the norm was that fed 2 cubes of frozen mysis shrimp. Feeding 1 cube never has had any noticeable effect on the skimmer. I can't see 2 cubes making it go completely bonkers.
Ideas?
