Thanks for the suggestions guys. I will have to use the crazy glue in combo with the reef epoxy. Do you find the skimmer goes crazy with using the epoxy? Mine does.

What do you mean by crazy? Like it decides to take its own collection cup off in disgust, or does it spit water at you?

I haven't noticed any issues using epoxy and there is a lot of epoxy in my tank(s) :-)

No it just foams like crazy for a bit, then settles down, ends up flooding the collection cup.

My skimmers always do that when I haven't adjusted them right (air and water intake). On my new 150 my hydor 700 did that the first time I powered it up. Even with nothing in the tank at all, it foamed up and overflowed a bit until I dialed back the air and let it settle out / break in over the course of a few hours. Are other people reporting that epoxy is causing their skimmers to go "crazy" like that? Your account is the first suggestion of it that I've seen.
