Beginning reefer here....I have a Nano 20g Red Sea, but recently upgraded and it isn't going well so far.
I am setting up my Red Sea 250 (65g) and installed the ReefMat 500. I installed it to hang on the side with the little bumpers. The issue I have is that it is splashing a lot and the water is all coming out of the sides of the ReefMat, which I think may not be right. The water in my sump system is about 9" tall on the Reef Mat section, but is very low (<5") on the return pump side. Can someone tell me what may be wrong or what I installed wrong to make it do this? I'm sure it was user-error, but I've watched every video I can find and haven't found where I screwed up yet. Thank you so much!
