70 gal tank setup

[Richard_Dicosimo]

actually it makes perfect sense after Albert explained that im an idiot and had the sump set up wrong origionally. the evap will come from the return pump side because the ball valve has essentially created a reservoir type situation where the water is controlled on the one side, and the opposite side will fluctuate the evap difference. as long as the ball valve is dialed in the water hight on the one side will remain constant with the exception of a power outage, and after power retuns it will go back to the pre set level.

the tank if full of water as of tonight and the salt is in.... a bit to much salt... oops....

i removed the pretzeled return because there was such a lack of water flow from the return pump (ocean runner 2500) WAY TO SMALL A PUMP i think...
but now the sump fills to within an inch of the sumps height... so needless to say the pretzel will go back in and with the anti siphon holes in place will have no chance of overflowing the sump....


anyone got any recomendations on a quite submersible return pump, prefferably with decent head pressure?? im thinking in the 1500 gal/hr and under range min 1000gal/hr...

any recomendations?
