water doesnt have to flow back into the tank as fast as its pumped up, you can restrict it to find a good balance between over flow and the perfect level.



I agree with all of you that restricting the overflow is a dangerous game, and eventaully will get clogged. I think im just going to build an electronic shut off. water gets to high for any reason, pump turns off, water drains out pump turns back on. Probably be the easyiest solution.
