Yep, another skimmer-related question from Mike.
I changed out my filter sock last night, the most recent one being about 8 days old in the sump and very dirty. Prior to the sock change, my skimmer was doing a good job producing a dark green skimmate. But immediately after the sock change, I noticed that the bubbles in the skimmer are much, much finer that before and no foam is being produced. Even after lowering the filter cup, the skimmer I'm not getting any foam, just water.
My question is, was the skimmer pulling gunk out because of the "dirtiness" of the previous sock?
