I'm having a problem with everytime I do a water change my skimmer goes nuts for serval hours and then returns to normal. I had been purchasing the same salt water premixed from my local fish shop with no problems. I've mixing the salt well and even tried a food safe container to be on the safe side. I just can't figure it out. The salt is well mixed and clear, just doesn't make sense. I'm not cleaning the skimmer at the same time as the water change, that's not the problem. Just last week, I got some water from the local fish shop and had no problem with the microbubbles and the skimmer wanting to overflow. I'm using the same salt the LFS uses, they have 50 buckets (Tropic Marin Pro-Reef) of it at least. If anything I use to see the skimmer drop down a bit after doing some maintence on the tank, but not do the opposite and overflow.
