I did a water change yesterday and siphoned out some stuff from my sump, and ever since my skimmer has been going nuts. It fills up in about a minute. I kept up with it for a while but after burning through my last 4 gallons of SW that I had on hand I had to take the collection cup off. Its now almost 24 hours later and I still cant put the collection cup back on with out it filling up almost immediately. What can I do!??!
 
Its an ATI 150 and I have the water level set to its lowest level. How can I tweak the air flow?
 
Something got in your tank and its going to do that until its out. I'd give it 3 days. You can tell by looking at your water level in your skimmer, if the foam head is alot larger than normal, this is the issue. Only other thing it could be imo is if the venturi line is clogged up a bit. Run some hot fw through the tubing.
