Angry G2 Going NUTS!

I need some help...

My G2 has been running for about 2 years, no problems.

I turned it off for 2 days for some tank maintainence. WHen I turned it back on, it bubbles like crazy! ANd just overflows into the cup... I cant get it to work like it did before? I didn't change anything.


HELP!

I checked....not clogged

Actually there seems to be more bubbles than usual, they are even going out of where the water comes out of the skimmer...

It is making me Crazy-Insaine!

Update;
I let it run overnight...overflowing, and it eventually went back to normal.

Weird.

The other day my G2x did this. However, five minutes earlier, my long-spined sea urchin spawned into the water column. Maybe you had something similar while you were working on it.

Chemiclean....that's IT!

that had to be it.
I did a 20% water change and thought that it wouldn't
cause the skimmer to go crazy...at least I learned something.

Chemiclean will make it go nuts.
