nexus overflowing

hi can anyone help?
Ive got a problem with my pond that I have not seen before and its baffling me, I wondered if anyone could help?
I have a nexus easy 200 filter pump fed, I have been having a few problems with it blocking up daily in the center, so last weekend I totally cleaned it bio and everything, I found that the bio chamber was pretty dirty at the bottom so I cleaned it all out and thought my pump 90litre was not enough to agitate and keep the water flowing so I bought a new air pump 160 lts.
I fitted it this afternoon and an hour later noticed all my kaldness floating in the pond (the whole lot) so when I took the lid off the outer chamber mesh was being blocked by the kaldness and had overflowed in to the outlet back to the pond. I scooped it all out and put it back in and its done the same again tonight, I have never seen this before any ideas?
is 160 ltr air pump too big for the filter?
