Mine overflows if I don't change my filter sock before it overflows.

No changes in level, dosing, food or epoxy. Like I said though, when I turned the level adjust valve to lower the level in the Skimmer it did nothing. I can't get it to come down at all. I removed the collection cup and am just letting it overflow into the sump.

Do you have anything that could spawn, or spew their special goo? That could cause it.

Air intake for the skimmer plugged or restricted?

If you're having problems even when adjusting it then you might have a clog somewhere.
