    Yeah thats the thing mine did that at first as well . I was going to take it off because it was so much. I thought it was just to big for my 3 gallon. I talked to my buddy at my lfs who had one and he informed me his did the same until you guessed it , it was broke in. Whenever you get a chance I would love to see a pic of what it looks like on your tank. By the way it settled down after 2-3 hours. I did a mod on the veturi intake as well. I used an airline with one of those two way valves to be able to fine tune it at will after a week or so. when I think about it next time I will take a pic. Good luck Baugherb. ;D

    Yeah the venturi tube. I used one of those airlines with the two way valve to be able to adjust it without having to move that tube up and down.

    Good idea.. My hand are so big it makes it almost impossible to get my hand in there. I have to take the cup off to do any adjustment.. I had to bend my reflector up to accomidate the height difference.. It looks like a nice set up..
