But I'm unsure in if this is the solution. Oké I have had it Sinds Tuesday, so it has to break in but it still feels weird.

I'm going to my lfs on Saturday where I bought it as well, and maybe try to get my sump level up to 8,5 with a overflow comb.

Any tips are appreciated.

It's working now because you have the wedge pipe closed a bunch. I just checked the depth on mine and I have it at 9" deep. Increase your sump level. The low end of the depth range is for a heavier load. The more dissolved organics you have the in water, the higher the level inside the skimmer because the bubbles start sticking together more and that raises the line where bubbles turn to foam. Once you raise the level in your sump, the skimmer will perform better and you won't need to close the wedge pipe nearly as much. Also, you can rotate the wedge pipe 180* so the hose isn't under tension like that. Once you get the water level sorted out, you wont want to restrict the airflow.
