running wet means the skimate that comes out of it tends to be a bit less dark, more wet foam than dry foam.

Increasing the water height in the sump can cause the skimmer to run wetter. However, it should be an easy adjustment on the skimmer to fix that.

Did you add anything into the water change? Sometimes stuff in the water can cause the skimmer goes nut.

Think everyone is right. I had adjusted the skimmer with the water change. Had been cleaning the glass right before water change at the sand linemoving it to get it really clean and realeased alot stuff into the water which made the skimmer go nuts. Now that a few hours pasted readjusted again and its back to normal.

One thing that I know always makes my skimmer go crazy is when I add any kind of two part epoxy in the tank.
