Inside the machine, more than usual, and discharge. My tank is cloudy w/bubbles.

That's odd. I have the same skimmer. You should take out the pump and clean it up and make sure the airline hose is connected correctly. Good Luck.

Hmm, there isn't any air getting into it besides the airline is there? Have you recently added anything like chemicals or anything?

My salinity is 1.027. I did add Ultralife Red slime remover. It did not say to turn off skimmer or any other special instructions.

Bingo Bango. that's your problem red slime remover causes your skimmer to act up. Turn the skimmer off for a few days and do some water changes when the slime remover does it's job. The skimmer should be back to normal soon. Good Luck.
