I cant slow down the small bubbles, they're flying everywhere in the tank...and the cup is overflowing with water/bubbles in less than an hour!....

is it broken or am I doing something wrong?

plz help me out asap.....thanks

The cup filling up is usualy due to some chemical in your water. I made the mistake of adding some water conditioner and my skimmer went wacky for a good week until I got enough of the chemical out...

Have you used any water conditioner lately?

As for the small bubble exiting the skimmer, You might need to turn down the flow of your PH. I restricted the flow of my MJ1200 and added a needle valve to the air intake and I can pretty much adjust it all now with zero bubbles going back into the tank.
