I am having trouble with my protein skimmer. It keeps overflowing. I is an Omega 130.

How old is the skimmer, and how long have you had it running on your system?

The skimmer is new I installed it 6 weeks ago. I made a platform 3 inches high out of egg crate.

Water depth?

can you adjust the air intake? do you use a ATO?

The recommended depth is 6.5"-9" if I'm not mistaken. I would think after 6 weeks of use the typical "break in" issues would have passed. As suggested above, is the water depth consistent? Have you tried adjusting the air intake? Have you tried different depths? Sounds like you haven't found that balance just yet, which can take some experimentation.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think I got it adjusted right. Now to work on my green hair alage problem.
