I recently purchased a new AIO and noticed that the return hole is above the water level. This leads to water splashing everywhere and of course an annoying stream of water. I can remedy this by overfilling the AIO so the back chambers are above the return hole however this leads to less than ideal filtration. Am I doing something wrong here? My return pump is a sicce 0.5.

I think that’s where the water level in the display is supposed to go up to, but if you want it to be lower, you can probably just put an adjustable attachment like this one

That was my first idea. I was unsure on how to make this work with a 1/2" hole however.
