Exclamation Soapy water in Salt water Tank


I know this is going to sound silly, but, somehow I got soap in my wet and dry. I've tried skimming the water out everytime the protein skimmer fills up with water (and soap)... any suggestions on how to get rid of the soapy water without killing my investments?

Re: Soapy water in Salt water Tank

I would suggest a few daily 30% water changes and let your protein skimmer do its work, along with the use of some fresh carbon. There really isn't much more I can think of that you can do.
