I had similar issue too. I am using Skimz SM121. There was once it just keep overflowing after I did a water change. I had to reduce the water level to stop it from overflowing. Took about 1 ~ 2 hours for me to slowly raise the water level to the normal water level.

I think that's your cause. Try to do a 50% water change.

air flow problem?
More likely due to the 2part epoxy putty making the skimmer going into overdrive.
