Skimmer acts crazy at night...

I also have a ASMG3 on my 90g and it does the same thing to me too
I haven’t figured out what is causing it yet

as already said they narrowed it down for me
-corals and or invertibrates doing :bunnies: after lights out...
-hands in the tank after lights are out
-feeding when the lights out sometimes does it

its pissing me off cause i dun want skimmate in my sump/tank...

I have noticed a lot of baby snails all over my rock lately...

My ASM G3 overflows as well. Each time, it was something I added to the tank without turning the skimmer off first

my g5 did this once right after i cleaned it in the tub, no soap of course, just plain old water. after that one time it has never done it again.

tony PLEASE PLEASE keep a eye on your salinity !!!!!! losing that much water then topping off with RO will lower your salinity. I have had the same problems when I had my G6 and even now my BK i DONOT feed at night or put my hands in the tank I wish I could figure it out myself

nyfireman the water stayed inside the sump so i didnt really loose any water... that was the 1st thing i checked.. thanks for the :bigeyes: i appreciate it... well during the day ive seen white stringy things attached in diff. places were they werent the day before so it makes me believe that the livestock in my tank is :bunnies:... my snail hasnt moved from its spot all day but its tentacles are moving so i guess hes got something going on in the lil cave.. and my cleaner shrimp (it has nuttin to do wit it) molted today... so i did a 5 gallon water change and should expect things back to norm. tom. hopefully...
