Could be the epoxy. At least I've heard similar stories in regards to epoxy

I always found my skimmers were a little goofy in a new tank, not skimming anything then boom puking foam all over especially if its brand new. let it foam out and it will settle....I think.

Also the epoxy does it as well.

Thanks both of you
I've actually unplugged it now and will deal with it later
I just got finished prepping the QT with it's RKL and am heating up some RO for the NSW for tomorrow's WC

I also have been acclimating the snails and hermit, so the skimmer just got in the way

I will plug it back in soon and see what it does, but when I unplugged it, it was peeing me off and wasting water with basically nothing to throw away being produced

Yep, that's it for the skimmer tonight
I tried to let it foam out, but it just keeps puking water and then the ATO fires up
I tried it again and no luck so it's gonna stay off-line overnight
I'll try it again tomorrow after a WC
