are you running it in salt water... as the bubbles in FW are large... if not make sure the nipple where the silicone tubing is attached is not clogged or has some plastic let in it from the factory

Don't worry, I ran mine overnight in a FW bath and I was all worried that there was something wrong too, like I was going to have to return the pump or call the store, etc, etc. Until I put in in the sump and it foamed like mad!
