my skimmer has been skimming pretty good then started to dose nopox about a week and a half ago. here's what my skimmer has been doing since the second day of dosing. I've tried to dry skim but it keeps over producing foam and I know wet skimming would be worse. any advice?

I had that exact same skimmer and had the exact same problems. Only I wasn't dosing anything. Some days/weeks it would skim great. Others it would either run over or blow bubbles out the vent holes. I finally got a different skimmer.

I know some people love these things, but I wasn't one of them.
 
I have the same problem, it will get better in a few days but always stay a bit wetter than usual when dosing. I raised my skimmer up about an inch as well and now it runs great. Bubble magus as well.
