After a discussion about cyano, I got myself some Chemiclean. Put it in the tank yesterday with an air stone (this is the 30 gallon - used 3 small measuring scoops in tank water as directed).
Instructions say, "Continue using a protein skimmer, although skimmer may require adjustment to prevent excessive overflow." All is going well but it's the second day and I can't actually use my skimmer (Aquamaxx HOB-1) as it completely and totally foams up and overwhelms the skimmer cup (and beyond). I plan on doing a water change in the morning, which may allow me to start skimming again.
I'm thinking this is normal? The cyano is dissipating and fish, inverts and corals are very happy.
