    The Sump is Up - White Water Rapids?

    So, I go the sump filled and turned on. Here is the question: Should the water in the drain be so turbulent? It's 'belching' water out of the sump at times! There are no microbubbles in the tank. The Durso level seems fine. No fluctuations. As you can see...the return area looks fine. TIA!

    Sump Issues

    So...I finally got my plumbing set up. I have a 90 gallon tank with a 1 inch bulkhead mounted on the bottom. This drains into a 32 gallon sump. The problem is that the water level in the sump is the same level throughout. Shouldn't the return area be lower than the drain area?
