This is my morning routine:
Wake up. Coffee. Go twist open the Red Sea gate valve a couple millimeters. This has been my life for the two years I've had this tank.
I'll go to bed and the water level is perfect - about an inch below the emergency drain. I wake up, it's overflowing again. One teeny tiny twist and it's good for the day. But it's every single morning.
It's not really an issue of laziness. It's more about the salinity shifting with constant slight water level changes from overflow/sump with ATO compensating.
Is this a, "go DIY a new gate valve that doesn't suck" issue? Or is this something else I'm overlooking? Return pump GPH? I have a Syncra Silent 5.0 which is 1300 gph. I'm sure after head loss it's close to the recommended 1100.
