Skimmers are finicky - you could dial it in perfectly then an hour late the sucker if overflowing. Adjust once a day... i know its hard, but its the only way
As far as I know there is no way to alter the air intake on this skimmer, would you reccomend I just lower the water level a little bit?

Thanks for the help.
