is it just me

Yep,  I do understand the problem, have a look on the web site and investigate the valve on the water intake suggestion I think it's probably more a case that the water flow is too high rather than too many bubbles

Either that, or it just needs to run for a few days to settle in

yes but in the meen time this meen what i cant turn on the bubles with out it over flowing so do i not turn on the air in take for a munth or let it over flow for a munth constantly emptying clere water from the over folw every 2 mints and what dose this meen for the fish hay fish youll have to put up with the force 20 huracain out let for a munth wile it settles even tho wen settled the out let of water will be the same ?

 

o and as for the site and take a look at info on the air valve lol lol lol lol did that it went like this wen first set up the system set the air intake to 2 o cock for a couple of days lol lol lol
dj dose this to see what would happen dj sets to 2 o clock stands back withing 1.5 secounds the lid blows off and a jet of bubbles goes all over the room the electric
o sh** dj runs to power swich phu dj spends 1 hour drieing out the plugs and cables and dog lol
so as for there info i guess they never tested it just made it up

 

i meen dont get me rong i could be something else like well god knows hence me comeing on here lol

 

Sorry your having trouble dj.

 

yea me 2

 

OK DJ, at least you are keeping a healthy sense of humour

Just to make sure that I understand correctly, OK

The water is flowing through the skimmer and into the tank at a great rate and that water is full of bubbles?

The skimmer collection cup is filling quickly and overflowing?

Is that correct?

DJ,

just do it with care, you wouldn't want to void any warranties by cutting pipes etc. Have you considered contacting the manufacturers directly? BTW, I think I would stay away from the place where you bought it
