So I have an IM 20 Fusion tank with a Eshoppes nano overflow that drops into a 20 gallon high sump. It only has 1 real "baffle" which is a piece of eggcrate running the height of the sump with a piece of glass siliconed onto the bottom half of the eggcrate.
The problem is that the return pump (Sicce Syncra 2.0 turned to lowest flow) is pumping up water at a slightly higher rate than the return area can refill with water. So after running for a minute or so, the pump is running close to dry. Is there anything I can do to reduce the flow even more now that it is all plumbed already with solvent?
The eshoppes nano is a 3/4" fitting and the Syncra pump is 1/2" so I thought I would be fine...guess not.
Worst case I guess I can crack the glass a little to allow more water through to the return area?
