i fired up my sump and here are the problems i am having
1- the tank i have has a corner overflow, it seems to fluctuate up and down about two inches, it will fill up then suck the water down...is this normal? my stand pipe has a 90 on the top with a hole drilled in it, i cant remember the name for the set up but im sure you all know what i mean
2-since it is sucking the water down in intervals it is really causing turbulant water flow in my sump, is this normal??
3- i was told by my LFS to go with a 900gph pump and use a ball valve to back it off, well the ball valve is practically shut to keep water in my pump compartment...its a 90 gallon tank with 1 corner overflow...1" bulkhead. Is the pump too big????
thanks in advance
getting excited
