Eli your cup looks loose in the skimmer. I'll bet there are a million bubbles blowing past the bottom funnel of the collection cup. :mrgreen:
I saved your pics and edited them using Windows Paint. The red lines are the 2 pieces of plexiglass or lexan that you need to glue into your skimmer body to tighten up the fit.
First is your pic that I edited and the last are pics of my own refugium. You can see that I actually used 1 piece on the front side where the powerhead and intake tube enter the body. And I used 2 pieces to build up extra thickness on the left side of the fuge. This was 1/8th inch thick lexan. I just turned off the pump and let the fuge drain backwards into the tank. Then I dried the inside of the fuge with a towel. I used medium CA glue (super glue) on one side of the lexan and slipped it into place. The lexan goes down about 4 inches. When I needed the 2nd piece to thicken the side I simply cut another piece - drained and dried the fuge again. Put the glue on it and slap it in there.

Not sure what kind of macro algea these are
I'm not sure if this is sponge, but it is growing in a lot of places, some are as big as a quarter.
