Hi cobra,
I had the same problem with my AquaC Ev120 during a very extended breakin period!! But, hang in there, once mine finally broke it, it's the best skimmer I've ever seen! Just better by a mile than any other skimmer. The problem was it took mine about two months (also) to break in - and I was making things worse by fiddling with it. Trav gave me the clue; not to move it or disturb it.
During breakin, the foam won't mount the column, but if you hang in there, you'll be very happy! In fact, if you decide to throw the towel in on it, let me know, I might buy it from you!
