Early this morning I woke up to a strange grinding noise on my 55GAL. Come to find out for some reason my Corallife 65 suddenly decided to wet skim and overflowed the cup and the return chamber in the sump went dry. The pump was grinding away and overheating. All was well with the pump once it cooled down. But my questions to the experts is:
Why would a skimmer suddenly start wet skimming? Last night before I went to bed I checked the level and it was where it always is for a good dark fluid to be skimmed. What would make it suddenly change? And a even better question, what can I do to prevent this from happening again? Thanks in advance!
