    Try blowing air through the green tube to make sure nothing is obstructing the air flow into the chamber.

    well... funny story... I had an extension tube hooked up to the cap that i have blown into before and gotten more bubbles (obviously). Well, i hooked up my return to it after getting it all cleaned up and viola, the problem got worse! i'm like really? well, it's not the pump... so i took my extension and blew into it again and noticed that i barely got anything extra this time and there was a noticeable amount of resistance. I have no clue what urged me to do what i did next but i tried sucking on it... well, whatever had been in the tube dislodge and then re-lodged, this time completely blocking it.

    So sure enough... there was a partial block in the green tube.


    Thanks for all the help guys... on a separate note, now that i threw up the pics; anyone have a clue what brand/model this thing is or is just some noname off brand thing? Like i said, i've seen no markings on it... Again thanks for the help guys
