Hello all!
I am at a lost as to what to do. I have a sump and a hang on back overflow setup. Those run perfect. The issue is all the dang particles in the aquarium are just circulating and not going towards the overflow. A little bit does and the overflow takes care of it but for the most part as seen in the pictures and video (posted in link in comment waiting to be admin approved ) all the particles just stay in the mid to low level water column and doesn’t make it close enough to the sump.
Now I have tried just about every angle with the return flow. To push it straight over to the overflow, push away to try and circulate it to the overflow and every other direction. I let it run for a day to see if the angle works before trying another. Nothing helps. Same issues particles just suspended
Setup:
120 gallon tank. I have an esshops 1200. And a 2250 gph pump. I have it running at max efficiency. The flow is amazing. But as you can see the particles stay so low in the water column they don’t get close or stay on the surface to the surface to get to the overflow box. Even with one return facing down to stir up the bottom the particles go to the top briefly then sink right down to around the middle again and stays there.
Any suggestions?
I have another 120 running on two canister filters and it looks crystal clear. Are canisters just better than sumps??
