Need help quick?

[Mikeman]

My bak/pak skimmer is now filling up the water so much that I can't have the cup in the skimmer without displacing so much water that it drips off the side. I mean its filling it to the prim of top of the skimmer so I need some help quick, anybody experienced this? What should I do?

Well its kinda hard to tell you what you do.....find out wats wrong....to me it sounds like the water level is not correct which can usually be compensated if you do not have the skimmer at the right level. Just a thought....was it working b4 you did somehting?

Well during our hour and a half blackout last night I opened the tank up and found a snail in the part where the water comes back into the tank, funny its the first time that happened in over 3 years of having the tank, even more odd the water coming back into the tank was not splashing in an odd angle or anything
