Wait, is the foam in the skimmer supposed to STAY?? Mine will have a little foam, but then it disappears.. It'll just leave a pool of green good at the bottom of the catche.

You must have a male skimmer!

I'll check when I get home. Things looked stable when I left home this a.m., but the tank was was not yet awake. Thanks!

Just for future reference, you can add vinegar to a tank to drop the pH. Go slow - it doesn't take a whole lot. For my 300g system, I used around a cup at a time and waited a few minutes to check the result. When my tank crashed from my runaway kalk reactor about a year ago, I added almost a gallon to drop the pH from 10.0, and it dropped to below 8 in a matter of minutes...
