More photos of your plumbing tank side. Also what happens if you cover the water outlets with your hand while that hammering is going on. Does it start right back up when you let the water start to drain again.

Have you been able to raise the outlet of the returns inside the tank?Which part do I need to replumb?
A have 2 return pumps. Both are Echotech DC pumps.
One of the return pumps passes through a big 80 watt aqua ultra violet and makes a closed loop to the return in the display.
The other return goes directly into the display into a different loc line.
My overflow is a bean animal with 2 straight emergency pipes instead of a durso and emergency.
I don’t understand this. What do you mean by water outlets?Also what happens if you cover the water outlets with your hand while that hammering is going on. Does it start right back up when you let the water start to drain again.
Where the water enters the tank from your return. Turn off your pump cover the water outlets with your hand and see if when you release the hammering resumes or stays stopped and sealed. You seem to have multiple design issues. I am slowly looking at your build thread but have not seen everything yet.I don’t understand this. What do you mean by water outlets?
What does “it start right back up “ refer to?
I’ll get photos soon.
Don’t worry about looking through the build. I’ll post everything right now.Where the water enters the tank from your return.

Yes.Ok I see the issue. Can we please get a photo of what is in your overflow box? Top down shot should work fine. The people who built your tank are idiots to put it nice.
This is my tank right now. Ignore the crooked T5. I moved them to get a pic of the overflow
Red line is where your tank should drain to yellow is where yours will drain to. One minute im going to draw you up a stupid simple fix.
Loc line tends to leak a little Might slow the rate that it overflows but it will eventually happen long termLooks like a simple adjustment of the locline returns will help immensely with how much is draining into the sump.
Perfect! I totally agree that the return lines shouldn't be completely under water while the tank is running. (or when it's not, lol)On the left is what you currently have on the right is what you need, you need to bring the line ABOVE the water level before going back down. Now this will still create a siphon so you have two options. Drill a small hole (aiming down) at a point ABOVE or AT the water level on the pipe OR raise your flex lines so they are right at the surface and suck air the second power cuts off(I would do both) . Sadly just raising the flex tube above the water line is not 100 percent of a replacement for a solid line above water level as those flex lines can slowly leak.
It is a highly skilled CAD drawing thank you very much.Perfect! I totally agree that the return lines shouldn't be completely under water while the tank is running. (or when it's not, lol)
