Ya i know sooner or later it will go down. Just a little surprised it hasnt happeded yet. Was hoping to order small cuc, algae and maybe go into dallas andget my first fish while i have a 3 day weekend. Doesnt look like it will happen now
Hmm okkinda stumped. I hooked up my return pump today. Mag 9.5. Should be 950 gph.4 foot hight brings it down to 750 i believe. Then have 4 90s on it. For my drain i have 2 one inch pvp pipes. Basically 2 drains. They both are working but they are not keeping up with the return pipe.
Between the four foot hight and the four 90s i should be good but im not. So i got 2 choices. Add a value to the return to slow it down. Or rebuild my drains with inch and a half pipes. Adding the value is the easier of the two because i have rock on the drain pipes. but that limits my return even more.
That is the pump... she can adjust the valve to have more water stay in the sump instead of being pumped up to the tank, without actually adding resistance to the pump and possibly waring it out.
I'm quite familiar with that mod. Just he spent most of the thread talking about the tank return and what he was doing, then I wasnt sure if all the sudden he jumped to the pump return or if I missed something.
sorry i tend to ramble on
