szhttm: This only happens about once a month, but when it does happen it overflows until I shut it off. It also only seems to happen at night for some reason. Feeding does not seem to have much of an affect on the skimmer at all. If anything the bubbles will go down a bit when I feed, and rise back up to the proper level after an hour or two, but this is not consistent, or really a problem in my mind.

gabbagabbawill: I can't imagine what would make the flow change in this area. The way it plays out in my head is if the return pump is pushing water up at the same flow rate, then the drains would be draining at the same rate. Also, the prospect of re plumbing does not excite me, but if that's what it takes, then that's what will need to be done.


I think I'll start with the easiest suggestion of dismantling/cleaning the skimmer and skimmer pump, run it for a month and see what happens. If it happens again I will have to seriously consider re plumbing.
