Co2 scrubber causing skimmer to overflow

[Blakjax]

I recently purchased a new co2 scrubber from BRS. I have an Octo INT-300 skimmer. I removed the silencer and original tubing. I attached the new tubing directly to the inlet of the skimmer and then to the outlet of the scrubber. Now my skimmer is sporadic. One day it’s overflowing the next day there’s nothing. It looks and feels like low air flow through the scrubber. Wondering if anyone has a solution for this.

I had to adjust the water level in my skimmer a little when I installed a co2 scrubber. You are likely slightly reducing airflow. When you replace the media try leaving a little room in the scrubber so air moves a little more freely through it.
