Calling all corner flow owners!!

Hey guys so I'm another thread I found out that my powerheads were the cause of my fluctuating water level in my overflow... my tank is a 180g marineland corner flow with a herbie drain. The problem is when I have a vortech pushing flow away or forwards the overflow it will cause the water level to go up and down. Putting the vortechs on the back of the tank will help take care of the fluctuation water level but then I don't get good side to side movement. Anyone ever have this problem?!!? Or anyone with a cornerflo tank what do you do?!

How is the air inlet. I made mine larger and it got rid the fluctuation

I am not using the stock durso pipes that come with the tank. I have the tank plumbed with a herbie style drain. My fluctuation is because my vortech pushes water into the overflow. I might go back to the stock durso style pipes tho.

I think you should look at how your drain is constructed. My pumps create a wave and pluses water into the overflow but my water level with a durso is constant.

Yeah I'm thinking about switching to a stockman and one emergency
