Total system is 400 liters skimmer is sitting on 26 cm water height and it was crazy overflowing, I opened the outlet and there is constant water flow to sump from collecting cup outlet. Then I put something under skimmer and now height is 24-25 cm but still overflowing after 5 minute of no overflow
This is my first experience , should I play with height or continue running with open outlet
By the way there is a tube tap on the small hose near the thick setting tube should I remove this tap. Noozzle is screwded in completely as suggested in manual
Thanks for your advices

Keep the cover on the 2nd port on the nozzle. This is used for the ozone connection if you are running ozone. Lower the pump speed. Ideal speed is between 28 and 30 watts. The outlet is used to set the level inside the skimmer. If you have it closed too much, it will overflow. Also note that we have a dedicated forum here as well.
