Hi all,
I have a red sea reefer 750, 160 gallon tank 40g sump, 200g system. I recently added a pentair 65w UV sterilizer. I hard plumbed it with a varios-6 pump coming from my sump return chamber and going back to the tank, separate from the varios-8 that I already have running as my main return pump. Ever since I turned on my varios-6 pump with UV attached the water level in my tank is higher than normal and even with my valve open all the way, I cannot get the water to lower in my overflow box. What am I doing wrong/what do I need to change to fix my water level issue? I thought to increase the speed on my varios 8 but that seems to make it worse and then I have to add more water to my sump to keep the return chamber from running dry, adding more overall volume to the system which seems counterproductive.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I fix this? Thank you. I have let the system run for a few hours and the water level in the tank is far too high, probably a half inch from the top rim.
