Help -Skimmer Overflowing Constantly

[Cal_stir]

i think using ro is a waste, i soak my socks (3 every 2 to 3 days) in a bucket with some bleach for 24 hrs then rinse them well ( lil lady won't let me use washer), and let them soak 24 hrs in clean tap water, thought this was good. but then i quit smoking and after that i noticed i could smell the bleach in the dryed socks prior to using them, so i put a few drops of aquasafe in my final soak and can't smell bleach, ive had the bottle a year now, i do it just to be safe, have you tried running the skimmer without the sponges, they're probably there to control micro bubbles from getting in the tank, but your hob sump might prevent this, just a thought
