So i have been battling HLLE with a couple fish tried lots of greens different flakes, pellets ect. So today i decided to try Vitamin c.... Well i cleaned my skimmer cup out last night and dosed this morning.. When i got home 8 hours later my skimmer (ASM G3) had gone crazy Foamy like a rabid dog it overflowed (not watery overflow) dry bubbles all over in my sump like dishsoap!!! Anyone heard or experience anything of the sort??

Yes, that excessive foaming happens with all sorts of chemicals. How long have they shown HLLE? Is it getting worse? Have you tested for higher than acceptable ground voltage? Call me. I can drop by with a voltage meter if you need one. ------------- Reefkeeping Tips, & quick, easy setup tricks: www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=9244 Pay it forward - become a paid WMAS member

Mark, I haven't tested for voltage because i bought the fish (for a great price) with the HLLE it hasn't gotten any worse maybe even a little better but they just aren't as good looking with it... ------------- Chance Evans |

Well if it is getting better, then let it be. It takes time. Keep feeding a variety of foods. As much variety as possible is best. And as Mark said, the voltage. Which you should be grounding for anyways.

I think every tank sshould be grounded as a safety measure for yourself
