Do check the max water level. If within, Try Adjust the knot upwards. If failed, Yr skimmer may need sometime to run in.

Like solo bro said keep the skimmer within the recommended water level.

Use the air valve to control the bubble u want, less air = fine bubble (dry skim), more air = bigger bubble (wetter skim).

Then use the water level value to set the level just below the neck of the skimmer.

Then let it run for 1 or 2 days then do slight adjustment.

I use this method to adjust for a month until I meet my need but it still go crazy from time to time. Haha.

Thanks guys for you advise! I tuned down the air level to the lowest and increased the knob for water level to the neck. I also place my skimmer higher. Now my whole sump is in a mess full of bubbles...

Try to raise ur skimmer by 2-3 inch in higher, before that remover is skimmer our and put it back. if problem still persists Keep it at same higher position by 2-3 inch and close the skimmer air nob completely and water outlet fully close run for 5 mins, then slowly open the air inlet knob and Open the water outlet simultaneously.

This should work.. I had similar problem before
