Now the skimmer is constantly foaming over. I have to leave the cup drain plug out and run or the cup would overflow in minutes. It's been running for 2 days like this ?? Not sure what the problem is ??? Any suggestions ??? It's running in 7" of water
Foaming is usually a sign of something in the water after feeding, or a lot more DOC's that you expected. Just tune down the skimmer for a while, when it will clean the water you can set at full blast air again.

Is it still foaming?

No I let it foam over for a few hours with a hose connected to the drain. Once the skimmer got whatever was causing the crazy foam out of the water it has ran perfect ever since. Pulls half cup of skimmate every other day
