Hey all, I'm sure this question has been asked 1000 times but here I go again anyway.
I just finished setting up the biggest headache of a project that is my new 40 breeder reef.
Got the tank finally filled and started the pump (which is noisy and might need to be replaced in itself). Got the overflow started and tried tuning it with the gate valve I have on the main drain pipe.
The problem I'm having is I cannot get a full siphon no matter how high I adjust the water level. The drain hose is still 90% empty at any given time and is quite noisy. I've also struggled getting the overflow "waterfall" noise to be minimal and have had some success there, but still no luck with the siphon.
Is it possible that my pump just isn't providing enough flow to achieve a full siphon? Any help appreciated!
