My Skimmer has been overflowing once a day. I just recently started dosing BRS 2 Part with dosing pumps. I use my APEX to dose 1ml of Alk an hour through the night and 1ml of Calcium an hour through the day. They both get dosed in equal parts. Could the 2 part be causing it? My skimmer has been running for 8 months.
 
Yes definitely... on the containers it should state that skimming can be affected.
with topping off and dosing if any i constantly have to adjust the skimmer to skim correctly and not over flow. Sometimes i get overflow anyway depending on water level and dosing.
 
It has to be the Alk. I emptied my skimmer cup last night before dosing started and this morning it was full again.
