sorry, i miss typed. When I said more water in your overflow chamber I meant in your return chamber.. but you might have already figured that out

Also, your return chamber water level is what will drop as your tank evaporates water. This is where you typically place your Auto Top Off float valve/switch/sensor if you decide to install one (or maybe you already have). If you had one installed, it would have filled that return chamber for you up to the level that you set it.

No worries, I got what you meant haha. Yes I will be installing an auto top off. I have a 5 gallon fresh water reserve built into the sump that is the next thing. Also my skimmer is going nuts ( new Omega 15) so I need to break that in and maybe bring it up 2-3". Over flows like mad right now.

Could you take some more pictures of your overflow. BeanAnimal has three pipes...one fully submerged, one emergency and one holy "s*&t" outlet. I might be missing your submerged pipe.

Herbie and BA have a lot more water running in the pipes, just make sure when you add water you test your power off level in the sump
