I just set up a Tunze 9001 skimmer on my Fluval flex 32. It seems to be very tricky to dial in. With the slightest adjustment I either get too many bubbles that it fills the cup in a half hour, or not any skimming at all. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Its new and may require a break in period. Just move it up higher so it doesn't fill up fast and overflow and just let it run for a week or so. It will get better over time. Once it calm down then you can move it back into place and tune it to skim
