Why is my skimmer doing this?
This started happening very recently. Nothing has been added to the tank.
Green algae bubbling out of the holes on the top? [IMG]http://i47.*******.com/6olwlw.jpg[/IMG] |

Not algae, just skimmate.

Skimmers can be touchy. Try making some slight adjustments, and wait for a few hours to a day. From time to time, my skimmer will do the same thing. My over flows when the skimate is wet, and if I overfeed.

If the skimmer is directly attached to the aquarium, HOB, it will be dependent on evaporation, once you add top off skimmers tend to run wet. Minor adjustments are usually needed!
