Any time I am able to do I so I will. If I don't know, we will find someone who does. Good luck and I hope you get years of enjoyment out of this hobby. Stick with it. It gets easier. One day you will look back at this thread laugh.

Hey, I recently got a Mighty Jet Dc Pump 326, I put it in the very last chamber of my tank and it lowered the chambers water by a lot. Every-time I add water in the chamber it just makes my displays higher, what do I do????

Yep, just add some to any chamber. Pour kinda slow so you don't over fill. Watch the one with the pump in it, when it gets to the right level, stop. But do please use water that matches your tank salinity. You aren't replacing evaporation. You are adding volume so use mixed water.


Looks way cleaner in there!!!!

It is way cleaner ahaha!! Everytime I add water it just takes it out of the back chamber and makes the displays wayyy higher. It won’t level up too the level I want it too be

sounds like the inlet on the pump is against a chamber wall or something? Maybe the overflow is partially blocked?

You added more flow thru the tank with the new pump. If it won't level off until the tank overflows then the wier( the thing that looks like a comb that leads to the back of the tank) can't handle the added flow.
Easiest thing to do is slow the pump. Can you get your hands on a ball valve? It will help you tune the pump to match your wier. You will need to know the ID of your hose.

His pump has a DC controller. He can slow it way down. I didn't even consider that. But 326gph is a lot over the little IM weir.

Oh yes, I was thinking it was a mj1200.
Nice catch.
