The one in the first tank is running WAY to wet. You either need to open up the wedge pipe more and lower the sump level or raise the skimmer up on a platform. The line where bubbles turn to foam (break line) should be about 1" below the white part that the cup sits on. Also keep in mind that it can take up to a week for the skimmer to break in so things will change during that time and the skimmer may settle down some but in the mean time, lower the water level inside the skimmer by opening the wedge or raising the skimmer or lowering the sump level. 1/2" at a time.

The one in your tank looks OK though you could probably open the wedge pipe a tiny bit.
