I bought this Skimmer 4 months ago, and have always had to adjust it/turn it off whenever my waterm level in sump changes, when I dose certain supplements. NOW it has been a week and cannot get the bubbles low enough to put collection cup back on, it just overflows! I cleaned Skimmer completely and no help. My water level in sump is 7 1/2 inches (recommended is between 7 an 8 ). Has anyone else experienced these problems ? Can anyone give me some help/ ideas ? I just emailed Aquamaxx also. Kinds done, and about ready to change Skimmers !

You can also raise the skimmer up. I have a co-2 that runs in a out 5 inches of water perfectly fine. But the water level is constant.
Open up the gate valve all the way. If the foam is still too high you can loosen the skimate container to let water out the side of the neck. I've had a similar issue when power outages cause the skimmer to dump a lot of skimate into the tank.

I don't have a lot of fish only 8. I I had dinoflagellates and I still have diatoms kind of bad so I was dozing dr. Tim waste away for that to control the dinoflagellates and get rid of the diatoms I'm probably going to stop doing it as I got a better cleaner crew to take care of the excess algae problem

I had raise my skimmer much higher than recommended and still have it on the lowest possible setting.
Have you tried covering the air intake tube then releasing it? Sometimes that can clear a small clog. Or pulled the tube and check there's no gunk in there? When mine is plugged it overflows like crazy.
