Default Terminator II protein skimmer and sumpless kit

hello, i just got my terminator and sumpless kit in and put it together. I got it running but there are alot or fine bubbles being pushed back into the aquarium. What do i do. Also, when it starts foaming and right when it starts to push the foam out the waist hose at the top the side chamber water level rises and hits the float valve thus causing it to trip the silinoid up top and closing off the water supply. If any has any picture of where the water level is spose to be set it would be very helpfull. Thanks

I'm not familiar with that type of skimmer set up. But it sounds like your typical break-in period. Just dial down the air injector for the next couple of days. Then come back and readjust it in a week or so
