i just added in my first two fish. Pump has been off from time to time, it runs fine. until it shoots out clouds and makes clogging noises. maybe the water level is to low from the return pump chamber(waterbox 20)

I think the pump is faster than the overflow, maybe take the filter or whatever is slowing the flow out. Clean it? or maybe not use it or slow the pump down. can it be adjusted?
anyone?
ive put it to cover modt possible without removing the plastic
