i would place the returns just below the water level when the pump is on and make sure that your sump can handle the water volume that will drain when the power goes out.
do you have a pic of your overflow and sump ?? it would probably be easier to explain with a picture of your setup. |
That is exactly how I have it setup right now. The siphon break holes dont work, but my
sump can handle the water volume until the returns suck in air. Im leaving it alone because it works. Will probably just replace the return
PVC tube that i drilled siphon breaks in (eliminate the unfucntional siphon breaks). Thanks for all the suggestions, of all the reefing forums i have found this is by far the best. It has the nicest and most helpful members possible, who are always willing to help. You guys make this hobby more enjoyable than it already is.
