Way way way too much water ! Put the rocks in the bowl and fill with hot water and then drain it all away. Add about 1/2 TB of Grit for 2,3 and polish stages. About 1-2 TBs of Borax will help make the slurry. Start the machine with the lid off and see if the rocks are tumbling and rotating slowly. May add a few spritzes of water at this point. A little splashing is ok but not a major shower coming from the bowl to lid. Check after a couple of hours and in the morning and before leaving it on it's own for overnight and a few "spritzes" of water until rolling looks right.
