It's just an idea and might not work at all. If that doesn't work, it might just be a matter of allowing the skimmer to overflow constantly in to a bucket for a few days until it gets whatever is making it go nuts out of the water.
No its been used before, but I think it may be just needing to break in, ive had it running for a couple hours and it seems to be overflowing less than before. I might take it out and run it in a bucket for a while to see what happens.
