Why is my skimmer going nuts?

Its very possible that the carbon dosing and the bacteria bloom from it making your skimmer go crazy.
How much of each do you dose every 24 HRS period.
If you dissolved some FijiCrete into the water line that will do a little affect but not few days later.

Just dosing 0.4mL x2 a day for a 110gal tank. I doubt it was the fijicrete but I did put a piece of live rock that I crete together and fully hardened in the return compartment of my sump the morning of the day skimmer went crazy.

Just let it run and overflow into the sump for a couple of days and the foaming likely stop.

Did you use a dechlorinator?

Yeah, that. ^ You don't mention using RO/DI water. Many dechlorinators/ammonia blockers will make skimmers overflow like mad until they are entirely out of the system.
