Default Overflow Breaking Siphon

help!!!

My newly installed overflow is breaking siphon. Apparently I have some bubbles in the water that are accumulating in the top of my overflow box. After several hours they cause it to break siphon.

I have hooked the air removal fitting on the overflow to the venturi intake on my skilter (it does nothing to remove the air).

I have hooked the air removal fitting on the overflow to the venturi intake on my rio 138 GPh powerhead and it does nothing to remove the air.

I put fiber floss in the overflow intake. this has slowed down the accumulation, but i am still getting air bubbles in the overflow.

How can I make sure that I keep the air from accumulating in the overflow box?

I am afraid to leave home for more than 8 hrs.

Any advice would be appreciated..
