Hello, I’m having a confusing problem with my return line and water level in my sump. I increased the power of my wavemakers today and the water line in my return pump section dropped too low. Because of this, the return pump ended up running too dry and sent water that clouded up the tank.
I’ve tried adding water to the sump but the water would end up in the display tank instead of staying in the sump. What do I need to do?
For reference, this is a 60 gallon breeder display tank with a 20 gallon sump. I’m using the Eshopps PF-800 overflow box rated at 800gph and a Jebao dcp-4000 pump rated at 1056 gph. I have the return pump at 30% and a gate valve on my drain line.
