M6S1K3 Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I used seachems reef glue and instant oceans reef puddy and my skimmer won't stop bubbling over. It's been two days. Anyone else run into this? Any fixes? Thanks a lot! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpb Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Time. Epoxy will always do this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sascha D. Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 +1 epoxy always does that. It normally takes a few hours to finish, but not more than 12 IME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bpb Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 For me it has varied. If i use a pea sized amount for a small frag, nothing changes. If I use a whole tube in one sitting, I've had my skimmer still be overflowing a week later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard L Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 My skimmer is hyper sensitive to epoxy putty. I run extra carbon and it takes 2-3 weeks before I can run my skimmer again. In other words, I never use the stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
