How old is the skimmer and how long has it been running in your system? If the water level is correct for the skimmer, let it run/overflow for a day or two. It will calm down. The same thing happens to me when I get a new skimmer or put my hand in the tank.

Getting your skimmer working at optimum can take some time to setup.
More so in a new tank.
Google your model of skimmer and see what issues other people have had.
Good Luck
