Foam/froth after starting up sump
- Thread starter davis101
- Start date
I also added quite a bit of stress reducer before I started up the sump. Not because I was worrie about stress or anything, but because I got a big jug with one of my other tanks and I've been trying to use it up lol. Maybe that can cause froth with a lot of agitation?
Could be the stress reducer, whenever there is agitation at the air water interface, and dissolved organics are present, foam will froth up. This is the how the concept of mechanical protein skimming works, and a natural occurrence of foam fractionation.
I use foam fractionation in fresh water, it is easily applied to fresh or salt water aquariums and ponds.
