He can't move the tank to install a new return line, so he is stuck with a single drain line, so he can't run a siphon.
Here's wild and crazy idea.....use the 3/4" for siphon, use the 1" for emergency, get some flex 3/4" pipe and pop a hole in the drywall under sump. Pop a hole above the tank and drop a fish...tie off the flex and fish it up...hook it up and voila! You are plumbed!!
Guys to each one of you,
After spending hours and hours playing. I had I guy from world wide corals stopping by yesterday to take a look at my situation. Long story short after 3 hours he said that no matter what I'll have those bubbles and the reason is the Vectra M1 even only 20% of power was to much flow for the drain line. So the ONLY way that I could leave the tank dead silent is that right now I have to use the Vectra only at 10% which is still a lottt of flow.
My main concern was if that would be enough to get a good filtration cycle and he sad that in 20 years doing this I should be fine since there's still lots of flow.
Tell what you guys think?
Tank is running now for almost 48 hours.
Thanks again
