Here is what happened to me everytime I kicked up a new ETS skimmer. It may take a day or two before dry foam begins to occur. It will be wet. You will have a solid white column of bubbles which will overflow regularly until the break in period is over. Your 5 gal bucket will fill up real quick and overflow if you don't keep an eye on it.
I suggest if you are going to be gone long like at work, for example, I woud lower the water level down just under your first black ring. When you are home and able to observe it turn it up midway into the second riser chamber.
Your adjustment should be made from the outlet valve and not the pump. If your outlet valve is wide open and it still overflows then you can adjust it from the inlet .
Nice job on your plumbing upgrade and you turned your air intake up I see.
