what size of tank is it on ? second turn the pump flow down. and have you added or used stress coat ? or anything that has something for a stress coat in it ?. the iar isnt making it run wet. it has too much water flow or the use or stress coat will cause it to run over. more info on what you are using in the tank also. and how long has the tank been up and running

honestly, sell the bakpak their junk. look online for a remora with the maxijet 1200 or the mag 3 pump. great skimmer.{ get the important part's and buy once only. save's you money in the end. cheap now cost more later. what all lighting filtration ect do you have as well as live stock and amount of live rock and sand

so you already know the bakpak is junk. remora makes one of the best skimmer's and you can find them on ebay decent priced
