Help! Protein skimmer noob question

[Apheoxx]

I’ll drop a picture of my protein skimmer. I have a Reef Octo 110s and it keeps doing this. I have it on air level #3. It was fine when I first got it, but it keeps doing this now. I haven’t added anything to the tank to make it go crazy like this. It’s relatively new, maybe 2 weeks? Please help!

Turn it down... Skimmers need tuning from time to time, especially new ones.

If that isn't possible (I'm not familiar with this model), then raise it up so the water level inside is lower.

Turn it down how?

Reduce the air level or increase the discharge...

This video should explain it and how the adjustments work. It looks like it’s broken in nicely.

You're getting some great skimmate.
You can lower the water level in the sump or raise the skimmer. Put a plate under it, pvc pipe. Old plastic sour cream container. I put an old skimmer lid under mine for awhile.
Watch the video good idea you'll get it I'm sure!
Lots of videos on line for this particular skimmer.
Good luck.
