My skimmer has always produced pretty thick foam that would sometimes lift the lid off. I recently started feeding more to raise my nutrients, and since then it has gone into overdrive. I understand the connection, more food, more skimmate. I'm just trying to understand why it does this and how I can tune it better. The water level is turned down pretty low and I put an valve on the air supply that restricts flow a very slight bit. I've watched the BRS videos on skimmer tuning, I've watched most videos on Youtube on skimmer tuning, but I haven't been able to figure anything out yet.
The skimmer is a SCA-301. It's in just over 8" of water.
