I always enjoy your videos, and I love the way your tanks look. I'm just starting my nano tank and I am vigorously doing research on methods. This is a great tip to keep up the sleeve. I do want to mention one thing. I am a chef for 38 years. And I've seen this happen over and over. The dishwashers always used scrubbers and or brillo pads to wash the lexan tubs. (A clear plastic tub such as acrylic) and over time they would scratch the surface and become opaque. I saw you washing your top cap of the Skimmer with that scouring pad. Use a sponge! No scratches..lol reason I say this I've noticed you are very neat and clean. And this will bother you later on when it does scratch! Have a fantastic day. I hope my tank comes out as gorgeous as yours.

If the water is to “clean” the surface tension will prohibit the foam from “popping”. Obviously this is often the case with new tanks, but can also happen if you do a very large water change. Oil ore Vaseline will break the surface tension as you show in your video. :)

Another way to do the same thing is vaseline! Cleans off easily, as well. Worked really well for me when my skimmer went crazy after using chemiclean. Edit: LOL should’ve watched the whole video first. You mentioned it 🙃

I think you need to lower the water level or pump speed and run a lot dryer. Pushing the boundary will lead to the skimmer dumping over in to the sump.

Silicone or waterproofing spray does a better job and doesn't breakdown over time or be consumed by bacteria.

Your tank is cycling. It's a new system thats going threw another cycle because you added livestock. I don't see why you say you don't know why it's going threw a another cycle when all new tanks go through multiple cycles before there good. And in my opinion any tank at any time could go threw a cycle of some kind for many reasons.

Just turn skimmer off for awhile let tank run without it. You have filter suck doing job, new 180 tank probably still cycling. I would never put any oil in my equipment or water. I try to keep my human oils off the tanks as much as possible
