what pump are you using?

You probably have something in the water that is causing the skimmer to go crazy. Certain frozen foods or additives will do this. Also, certain glues like epoxy will cause this as well.

same thing happened to me with a nano remora, no matter what i tried the skimmer would fill up the cup with mostly water and overflow in about 10 minutes. As Klam114 stated im guessing its something in your water that is doing this, i just left my skimmer sitting there off for a couple days, started it back up and it worked fine.

If you can't get it to stop overflowing you might try restricting the air a little. I had to do this on my ev-180 when I upgraded pumps.
