Overflow boxes/sump/wet/dry question. - Aquarium Advice

Hey, as you saw in my other thread, I moved my tank into my basement yesterday. Now, for some reason, the wet/dry water level and thesump water ;level will not stay where I want them. They keep going up and down as I move the overflow up and down. It is really getting me mad. it was fine upstairs. Do they need to have the same amount of water in them?

Hello,

Mine was acting the simular and all I did was move the hose that was the main intake to the wet/dry system down lower than the intake and it stopped.

There was some resistance there and elimiated it. hoh

Well, I have 2 overflows. Differnt models and all. But either way, the resistance shouldnt make the water unstable.

Anyone? This is really pissing me off. Me having to get up every 3 minuites and move the overflow box up and down. Will I need only 1 overflow with a Y connector?
