when i remove the air valve it overflows even more,
but eliminates the micro bubbles in the tank.
my water level was around the 4th line on the side of the tank.
it was running about 3 days with no change.
currently off at the momment.

It can take many days to a week to break in. You'll have to be patient with it. You could leave it on and let it overflow but as much as possible I would keep emptying out the cup and put fresh SW in to replace what is skimmed out. It takes a while for any residue on the plastics to go away so that you get a good skim.

You may also have to drop the water level another notch but I would let it run for a while first. It is a pretty efficient skimmer and it takes a lot of waste out especially in the beginning.
