Hello! I've got whozits and whatzits galore!

Hello! I lied, I do not have whozits and whatzits galore but I love The Little Mermaid and thought it fitting to break the ice :-D



Here's my issue:



My protein skimmer is an "Aqua Euro USA Single Hang on Back Protein Skimmer" and the skimmer cup CONSTANTLY fills with water, sometimes overflowing. This morning I woke up to a slight film on top of my water and my nitrates were ~80 yesterday when I checked (I have the drops/tube tester).



What I've done:



A month ago I took it completely a part cleaned everything, made sure there was no blockage and still the overflowing issue came back almost immediately.



History of the tank:



It is a tall 20 gallon hand-me-down from my sister. I have a Clown fish, a purple fire fish goby, a six line wrasse, kenya trees and candy cane coral. The tank and skimmer are only a year old.



Conclusion:



What in the world is wrong with my skimmer and how do I fix it?



Thanks for reading and hopefully I can get this thing fixed!!



Best,

Christin
