Skimmer issues!
So my skimmer is basically just pumping water into my collection cup. There are a tone of bubbles and it fills up in less than 2 minutes. Any ideas?

Make sure there's nothing clogging the intake for the pump and the airline is free and not under water or clogged. If the water in your sump is too high would also make it run water, if you want your skimmer to run at it's best find what level makes your skimmer run best then make sure your level stays there with top off water

Have you added any oily food or supplements recently?

+1 on your water level either being too high in your sump, your flow adjustment being closed too much, or your air line being submerged.

What skimmer do you have? They we might be able to give some more specific instructions for adjusting.
