It can last a couple days, what I do is leave my skimmer on but take the collection cup out until it's stopped going crazy. This way your skimmer is doing part of its job.

When you do that won't foam go everywhere

I suppose it can, for me it just goes back into the tank. Not sure where I learnt to do that but someone told me about it and it works for me. My skimmer is also in the middle of the compartment so the foam or bubbles just go back into the sump.

It took nearly a week with multiple wc for my EM200 to get back into actions, after the CleanChem treatment for cyano.

yes... bubble splash is a mess in a sump area for few days. I wipe down every chance i got and there are no other ways to keep splashing tho.
