Protein Skimmer Help...
I have a Reef Octopus Classic 100 HOB Skimmer. The left chamber keeps overflowing, any ideas as to why? Is something plugged up? I attached a pic, please let me know any thoughts. Thanks

Have the same skimmer. There was a piece of foam at the bottom of that chamber which plugged with debris for me. I removed it and the skimmer has worked fine since.

probably to add a little biofiltration (nitrate factory), and aid in slowing micros
