Hey guys quick question for ya. I recently installed a uv sterilizer and had to increase the flow from my sump. My U-Tube on the overflow box no longer has an air pocket in it, water is filling up every part of it. No over flows yet and am pretty sure it's fine, curious if anyone else has theirs setup like this or if it's the norm to allow a little air space in the U-tube? Worth slowing down my return pump a little?
 
I'm pretty sure you're fine. My overflow on my old tank would do that. I think it just means your at max capacity for that overflow.
 
With air in there I'd be more worry about losing the suction. I also think you should be good to go.
