I guess you've tried lowering the stand pipe? If it's a new skimmer, then it'll take about a month to "break in". After that you should be able to tune it accordingly.
I wouldn't normally suggest it, but since your tank is a week old, if the skim is clear, then f-it and let it over flow back into the sump.
You could also drill a small hole into the bottom of the skim cup and run an air line from their to a gallon sized milk jug.
