its called loc line and its cheep. I have a bunch you can have but the trek out to male ridge would probably cost more than buying it at JL.

Are you sure it's the loc-line that's leaking and not one of the joints in the PVC or even the threaded union where the loc-line meets the PVC? Try adding some plumbers tape (teflon tape).

Rebuilding your sump, lowering your baffles will also create room for excess water.

The sump has like 0.5 gallon of overflow/flood space. Not optimal. It would be safest just to rebuild the sump as Proteus mentioned.

Thanks to everyone who responded.
I took apart the valves and added teflon tape, and drilled a little hope underneath the PVC connector and it seems to have fixed the problems.

Also redid my aquascape a little bit and ill post an image once water a cleared up to get some opinions.

Thanks
