As with all skimmers, to reduce the overflow you reduce the input of water to the skimmer or ajust the amount of air being taken in by the skimmer.
If you can reduce the amount or water or ajust the flow rate of the air input, that would settle your skimmer.
Alot of times as in your case i suspect it was something on your hands that caused your skimmer to overflow, perhaps an additive at the same time to the tank, even adding food to the tank can cause a skimmer to overflow.
These things settle with time, turn it on as slow as you can,, reducde the water intake by whatever means works and play with the amount of air your skimmer is intaking.
Thats about all i know, someone else might have a better answer.
