I got the tank from a fellow reefer, i can't seem to fix my ato working properly since the sumps last chamber gets imbalanced water lvl..
Im not sure how to check what's wrong so i use my reserve pipe as my drain to get the water lvl balanced so that the ato can work properly.
What happens is if i use the usual drain pipe the water in the last chamber goes up and down or the evaporation makes the chamber stay still hence the ato can't recognize water lvl but there's of course evaporation. I'm tired of the oily layer on top of the tank from food and debries.
What tips do you guys have? Could it be my return pipe or the return pump?
How could I test to see where the fault is?
Reef tank was cleaned properly and is barely 4 months young.
