try puting a bioball on the intake of the pump changes the way the skimmer works quite a bit, might not help but try it if you have some bioballs around

my older model used the output pipe height for adjustment. Lower the tube and the water level should go down

i have the same skimmer and i did the gatevalve mod. messing with the height of the tube does not work for me, as it seems that it needs tweaks often, and the pipe is hard to adjust.
