Prob packed too tight or something is obstructing weir I’ve had GHA stop weir from draining waterI have used the same floss for two months and it was working great. I may have the floss packed in too tight? Maybe cut it shorter allow a gap in the back?
is this an intank problem?
So this happened right after you changed the floss? If you were using the same floss for 2 months and you hadn't changed it yet It will definitely alter how much slow goes through it as time goes on and it picks up sediment inadvertently increasing the water level in your tank.I have used the same floss for two months and it was working great.

It’s because your water is evaporating and it o it goes down on your return chamber where your ato is supposed to bereturned from vacation to have my Watterbox AIO 20g tank acting up. There are 3 chambers in the rear...from left to right there is the intake, then the middle one, and the return chamber that has the return pump.
This return chamber is running empty. The 1st chamber (intake) is full, middle chamber is about halfway full, and last is practically empty. Level of water in tank is near top. I have stopped the pumps and drained out the chambers. Took a strong flashlight and shined light down baffles...I can see the light in each chamber. I run a plastic stiff tube down each baffle, nothing. I have cleaned the return pump. Added water back, same issue.
There is water flowing between chambers, just not at a speed that allows the middle and end chambers to fill up. I'm at a loss as to what to do.
From what I understand, it's the return pump that controls the water flow through the chambers....it pulls water to put back in tank. if the flow in the chambers is too slow, then the pump is draining out that chamber. Does that sound right? A slower pump would not pull so quickly....right?
I have also checked the (don't know what it's called) point of 1st chamber where water comes into the intake one. It's fine because the first chamber is always full.
Full disclosure, this has happened before, but previously the middle chamber had this sponge that I took out and cleaned. The chambers returned to normal. I did all that this time too, but nothing.
Any thoughts on what might be going on or what I need to do?
I plan on hitting up some pet shops tomorrow to see if I can get a new pump to eliminate that.
How do I "dial down" the pump? It doesn't have any adjustment settings that I can find
And how does changing the filter (by filter, I assume you mean the sponge in the middle chamber?) daily affect the flow if it's currently having no effect on it?
This was a dead thread folks.
