H&S Skimmer Problem - Need help!

Hey guys,
I've been loving my 90-1000 H&S Skimmer. Its been pulling a ton of gunk out! Only problem is that I just set my tank up and added a new filter sock and carbon in the tank. I know with a new filter sock it will create a TON of bubbles but now its a day later the tank is completely clear of micro bubbles but the skimmer is overflowing.

Does anyone have any input? Just trying to get this thing back to pulling the crap out!

Thanks!

-Dave

I have read that some filter socks need to be rinsed before being put in because it will cause your skimmer to go nuts. It was on a Tunze forum concerning their new 9410 skimmer.

Awesome. Maybe I will turn it back on later today to see. I would think it would be all rinsed out by now.

Thanks for the input. Any other H&S owners out there maybe a little help?

Yes most likely just something in the water and it will subside shortly.
