With most everyone here, your chemical additive is driving it nuts. If you read the instructions that came with your skimmer (or go online and look at them) it specifically states that any kind of water conditioner can cause issues with your skimmer. I have the Remora Pro and it has the same warning.

I recently moves my Aqua C Remora down to the sump.. its not designed for in sump so i hang it on the back and it sits on the floor... I had to cut a longer tubes maybe 4" instead of the 1" one but that shouldn't cause much changed in flow from it to the skimmer

it hasn't skimmed much in its new home, but maybe thats because its in the sump and all the water it is trying to skim is the output from my wet dry, but it should still do some skimming.. thoughts.
