Skimmer overflowing

[Dearth]

Running for a few days without a skimmer won't hurt anything

Thanks for alleviating my concerns. I ended up putting the lid back on and attaching a hose to the drain in the skimmer cup. I figured if it was still overflowing after a couple of days there must be something on the water column making it do so. After an hour or so of this the skimmer seemed to calm down a bit.
