Is it possible to have to high of a flow rate?

My res seems to have tons of bubbles in it, it looks like a fountain. No leakage or anything is this a problem?

if you added some solution to it, it should stop bubbling in a few days. Just let it run.

its not so much bubbling but it seems like the flow is so high that as water enters the res, it hits the top of the res, even though the res is half full.
