Re: After skimmer break in...?
Skimmers can be very touchy, some more than others. The most common reason for floods all of a sudden like that is using a water conditioner/dechlorinator or stress coat additive. But for the first couple weeks, floods are all too common, unfortunately. During the break-in period, some people just leave the skimmer at the lowest setting when they're not home.

Re: After skimmer break in...?
I was hoping the break in would be over by now? The Skimmer has been up and running for about a month now. The most frustrating thing is no sooner I get the thing adjusted right...I'll have to clean it. So I'll have to turn everything down...clean it...and probably never get back to where it is now.
 The valve for the air control is WAY too sensitive. I need to come up with a better solution for that. -RYknow Current Aquarium(s) Description: 90 Gallon FOWLR Experience in Saltwater & Reef Aquarium Hobby: Year - year and a half.

We've all done it.So your not the first,and dang sure wont be the last. Seems like the better skimmers are more prone to flooding,just because.
