I would use vodka than sugar since it is easier to control.

But nowsaday, I run bio pallet which work on the same principle of carbon dosing but is more easier and safer.

Hi guys,

Sorry to hijack the thread.

I have some issues with my bio pellet. I have just bought a fludizer FR and run it with about 200ml of bio pellet on my 6 ft tank last night.

This morning, my skimmer seems to go crazy!! It foam just keeps coming and flowed out of the skimmer. I have tried ways like lifting up the skimmer by 2 inches, adjust the air intake rate etc.... however nothing seems to work. The foam still rushes in and flows out of the skimmer.

Is this normal? I have off the skimmer for the time being as I need to leave the house for about 3-4 hours. Any suggestions on what I should do? Thanks!!

Just leave the skimmer off and on back a few hour later and see?
