Fizz is the best way I can describe it.

I had the same issues with my BM250 on my 90 gallon. I started running it with one pump instead of two and it seemed to settle in.
It's off and on, sometimes it's foamy and sometimes it's just "fizzing". By fizzing I mean the water level in the skimmer is the same but there is no foam build up in the neck, rather the air bubbles just fizz about an inch or two above the water level. It takes a few weeks to a month to full the collection cup, on my previous setup it would only take a week.

By similar problems do you mean just the fizzing or problems with corals as well?
