i dont know if this is the right post but it is the middle of the night and cant sleep being bothered by this. I picked up a supermarine 200 on the weekend super excited so i throw it in the tank i did not soak it as store said not necessary and fired it up ensuring the skimmer was opened full bore to tune it up instant overflowing so i pulled the drain on the collection cup have it open all the way in only 6 inches of water now and it still constantly overflows i pulled it up hoping it would drop level of skimming any thoughts would be appreciated

Hmm thats odd usually it takes a while for the skimmer to raise the water level not the other way around, have you opened the gate completely, and cheked the air line that its not clogged.

how much water is the skimmer sitting in? (In terms of height)

well it six in 6 inches right now i know 8-10 are ideal brought it up hoping but judging by reef central was up most of last night looking around it is a frequent problem so patience i bubble level would drop guess i have the pump calibrated the dots on the volute are lined up

Do you use or have done the following within the past two weeks?

- Add water conditioner such as Prime or AquaPlus.
- Glue down any corals with epoxy.
- changed your RO cartridges.

i have used prime but would that cause the skimmer to go mad durning break in
