so here's 2 days of dry skimming with the 250
looks good right, yummy skimmate, all's good in the poop removing department. now for the bad, I fed some frozen food and a few minutes later I hear a strange noise coming from the sump. I open the doors and find the collection cup about to blow it's top. now someone please tell me these are not that sensitive. if the 250 freaks out every time I feed the tank with frozen food that will be a major problem. I have since opened the gate valve, the skimmer is producing less waste, but I feel safer with the water level lower. If I'm gone and frozen food is fed I do not have to worry about the skimmer turning into Mt. Vesuvius.

for those that notice the dish in the front is to divert the output of the skimmer, it was messing with the ATO float switch
