I have a Euroreef (forget the model but its for about 220 gallons and has two sedra pumps)

Anyway, been running fine for almost a year. Recently, my skimmate cup fills up with mostly clear water -- in only a few minutes!! What could cause this?


- I havent done anything significant to the tank or skimmer to recently.

- again last night took out the two pumps (sedras) and cleaned the venturis and airlines.

- the gate valve is opened up all the way as it always has been. when i turn it the other way, i think the skimmate actually comes up quicker! so im sure I have it open right.

So, any ideas as to why I would be getting such an overflow?? Help!
Can you figure out the model number? Is it at least in sump or out of sump? Is it pump fed or direct fed by overflow?

Sounds like your water level in the skimmer could be elevated. When you close the air valve is the water level where you expect it?
