Hey guys. I have the bubble magus skimmer and it seems to not be working that well. My skimmate is still clear and it keeps fluctuating way to much. One day it'll be over flowing and the next the bubbles r only half way up the neck. Any help please ?

My tank is 3 months old but I've had my skimmer for a month now. I don't have an auto top off but even when the water is consistent it's still erratic. One hour it's overflowing and the other hour it's not even skimming cuz the bubbles r too low.
