sump level? does this look ok?
I think I have my skimmer pump and my sump pump working well together after some adjustments. Can you look at this photo and tell me if the levels in the sump look good. The duct tape show the level in chamber 1 which house the skimmer pump, chamber 2 has the skimmer output and the last chamber is the return section which feeds into my Eheim which is outside the sump.

Looks good, Just keep an eye on it every couple hours for the first little while, I could get mine adjusted close enough that I could sit for ten minutes and not see any fluctuation in level, but after several hours I could see that one was putting out more than the other, it will just take some fine tuning.

Thanks all. Just what I figured which is why I am glad I have the rest of the day to watch, and tomorrow no work. Yippee I did it.

Have you tried the "power off" test to make sure any drain down will not overflow the sump?

Good Job Deb, I take it you have no problems with the return lines backing up, I don't recall how much the Ehiem you have on your return pushes through the system.
