reef octopus 8000 skimmer acting up

Anyone here with experience with this skimmer? Can't seem to dial it in. I thought it was good. Pulling lot's of gunk, then I cleaned it and it stopped pulling. Bubbles were way down the neck. So I just left it. Figured it would go back up, but it didn't.

Recently added ozone which is running thru the skimmer. Since then it has completely overflowed. So I dialed it back. Then it went way too far down. Left it and after a while went about an inch from the neck. The next day it was 8" below the neck again.

Tomorrow morning, I might find it back up again, or overflowing.
This thing is crazy. No idea what the deal is. Been running for over a month now so it should be broken in by now.

Any input would be awesome.
