Do you have a pic of what you built, it would be easier to troubleshoot.

good article found by another refer its posted not that long ago here http://www.aquaticplantcentral.com/f...ge-system.html

this will not work the way it is you need a hole where it goes over the tank also a check velve there. this design is poor will work with a couple changes. check out the links above thay have a design that works realy well.

best guess i could make would be that the air hole is too small. As stated it would be great if you can post a pic of the one you made.

i have two overflows ..one with the air flow....one without
I like the one without the best....never had any problems...just use a pump that is rated a little higher
