Hi all, I've had this tank and skimmer for about 2 months now, and no matter what I do this skimmer just won't do right. It fills up in about 5 minutes and is either making tons of bubbles or gushing water, nowhere in between. It's a Fluval Sea Mini in a Fluval EVO. Tried all sorts of dial settings and air inlet settings with nothing to show for it, always either does this or straight water. Any tips are greatly appreciated!

The water level is too high. The skimmer either has go up or the tank water level down.
I hate to be that girl but look at IOAOI or Bubble Magus Nano skimmers, Fluval mehh at best for the money.👍

Sounds good, I'll try lowering the water level after work tomorrow. Only reason I got this one is because it fit perfect in this tank but for my 55 gallon I was looking at IOAOI
