Sorry if this is a beast question but i couldn't find any answers elsewhere. This is My first time using a blow off tube setup. I have had a pretty vigorous fermentation and its just day 2. I cleaned the lines out and changed the water and starsan mixture in the buckets but now I have more Krausen in my lines? Should I just leave it alone until primary fermentation is complete?

You could replace the blow off tubes with air locks when the krausen begins to subside. Make sure the blow off tubes are not down into the beer, or the pressure will be pumping your beer out.
 
OK thanks. Hopefully it's not pumping my beer out now.... I guess I'd see alot of loss and the buckets would be filled with beer then
