here... this is my first saltwater tank... been in the freshwater hobby for over 10 yrs... finally decided to go with this...
I have a 210 gallon tank w/ over flow and Model 4 AGA sump... i have two mag drive pumps returning the water into the tank...
the outlets in the tank are immersed on both sides... my only problem is when i turn off the pump, the water automatically starts to siphon back into the sump thru the pumps and the sump starts to over flow on to the wooden cabinet and eventually all over the wooden floor.
so inorder to avoid that i have to put the outlets above waterline and thats making too much gushing noise. i was wondering if anyone else ever had this problem or know a way to stop this... point out to some sorta valve i can use.
