overfill the filter a small amount at a time I know there is a full line but the pump is sucking air. I eventuly bought a smaller return pump which i know reduced the efficency of my filter but was the only way to get rid of the bubbles

Try taking the water line off at the top and reattaching it, giving it a small twist if you can to make sure it seats well. A very small leak anywhere above the water line could cause your problems.
I read that someone also gave the filter sponge a good squeeze to remove bubbles. Air was trapped in the filter and was slowly releasing into the water.
I personally noticed bubbles for about the first month or so and they seemed to diminish slowly over time. I still get a few and have no clue how they are forming. I have to look very close to even spot them, so I just don't worry about it.
