the quickest way to stop overskimming--IMO and I am defining overskimming as being counterproductive to invertebrate refugiums by removing inverts, useful bacteria as fast as they are produced----
is to turn down the rate of flow through the sump/skimmer area
5 x's turnover per hour--this way not as much water will pass through the skimmer--the water that does is well skimmed however.
