So I added 4 coral frags in the tank yesterday, attached them to the rock using d and d aqua scape epoxy. I used what I had left over to secure a couple of rocks together. Since then my skimmer, a deltec mce 600 has gone a bit mad. It has twice filled the cup up and started flowing down the overflow. I have now turned the air down some 70% but it's putting in tonnes of bubbles into the aquarium. Is this normal, hopefully it will calm down and resolve soon.

It's pretty common for skimmers to go nuts after using epoxy. You can dump the cup when it gets full and replace with new saltwater.
