Ive cleaned the air hose housing on the skimmer, and do not adjust the skimmer (unless of course it overflows). The level in skimmer always goes down after feeding, and so i never re adjust it because it always goes back not.... not sure why its overflowing. And i overflow i mean over flow. my sump looks like a big skimmer cup when it overflow, foam comming out of the sume about 12 inches high.

Does the water level in your sump go up and down?

Not in the chamber that the skimmer sits in. So no, i wish it was something that simple!

very odd indeed... I have the RS80 skimmer so I assume it's a similar setup... how high do you have the bubbles coming up the neck?

And I noticed the same, that food does drop the level and thought maybe it was adjusted when food was in the water, hence once that's settled, it'll over flow, but that's not the problem... hmmmm...
