marie, how did you flood it? With the lid on, the water will fall back into the neck of the skimmer before hitting the floor?

My friend has had one on his tank for 4 months and while it's a terrible skimmer, it's never flooded... should he be worried?

The water came right out the top. It usually happened right after I cleaned it which I had to do every 2-3 weeks. If I didn't dial it right down it could dump out a couple of gallons of water within less than an hour and it would wait a few hours after I started it up again to do this . It took about a week for me to bring it back to full speed and then I would have a week of awesome skimming then it would then slowly skim less and less until the end of the 3rd week and I would have to clean it and start all over again.
