Epoxy is known to cause that, have you used any?

[Alleycat_99]

[pinkreef]

i had to turn off skimmer and do a water change
then start it up again
may be necessary to repeat

You can lower the water level a bit too and that may help. The blue water line on the DOC skimmers is the maximum level, not the suggested level. When my 9016 was in my tank I usually had issues when the water was at the line vs. a little below it.
