I find that adjusting the skimmer after feeding, dosing additives, etc. usually cause this. ie; it's adjusted when water params aren't at their norm. I adjust mine usually before feeding mid day (after work) or at least a few hours after feeding helps. Even if it goes wonky after feeding, I leave it alone unless it's really overflowing.
I also find that cleaning the air hose intake at the pump helps...
