are you sure?
because I tested the skimmer and nothing was wrong. Maybe you placed the skimmer too high from the water level?

Well, no matter where you place the skimmer, there will be bubbles
formed on the surface. When the bubbles burst, there will always
be some water "splashing" out. That's why I changed to venturi.
Both because of that and venturi skims better from what I read.

Lowering the water level is out as my tank is only 1 ft high.

bubbles from the cup, or from the skimmer output?
If the bubbles are from the cup, shouldnt there be a lit to fit on the cup?
anyway it works fine for me, just hope that it doesnt do like what you said when I add LS.
