Also do you stick your hands in your tank a lot? Doing so can throw your water out of whack and the skimmer won't skim for a couple days after that.

I agree. I added Zoecon and the skimmer did zero for a few days. I also agree that you must keep the air way clean on the pump. My fills with Ca deposits alot.

I recently spent a few hundred on more coral (got 3 days ago) and my skimmer and filters pads are get dirty stuff out like crazy..

As mentioned by others, I think you need to disassemble the pump and do a thorough cleaning. Take the impeller assembly out and clean both the impeller and the pump internals with clean water and a brush. Also, the venturi needs to be completely free of any calcium deposits. I use a drillbit for this purpose. Handle the parts with care as the parts are fragile.

If you are using the neck extension, remove it. I always set the outlet flow (the two knobs) so that the arrow/indicator is perpendicular to flow. This seems to maximize the water level in the chamber, although the printed instructions are not entirely clear on this.
