    I've used the same stuff, I did a 20% water change, and that seemed to help my skimmer get over the bubble problem. The slime remover really does make a skimmer go crazy.

    don't panic=) ur skimmer's fine. Turn it down as low as it will go (in your case raise the cup as high as you can for a few days and let things get back to normal with the skimmer. You are going to want to do a pretty good water change in conjunction with the red slime remover too and this will help with the bubbles.
