Hello,
Lol well the way my wires look, is similar to me getting out of the shower and instead of brushing my long hair, I use electric egg beater. Now I admit I slack on cleaning my pumps and always think I need more flow. So with that said does any one kinda have a light bulb moment and then wonder why it took so long for the light to turn on? That’s me today.
I was pretty close to having my dual returns full power and same with wave makers. Well I cleaned and put both of them back in. Holy cow the clean return pumps just moves water like it was brand new. I turned it back down to 50% and it was still just blasting water compared to the other one. Before I cleaned they were about equal, guess I really need to clean a lot more. Hopefully it won’t take a 24 hour soak to make them look new. They look brand brand new again and I cleaned all the cords also. But another moment of does my brain work is at times my tank has loud water movement.
When I dropped to just one return the tank was literally dead silent (other then the one return missing and one wave maker and they are all silent clean or dirty). Anyway when I added the second return back, my sump level was normal. Then in about 20 seconds it literally drained five gallons out and it was a mad dash to top the water off (whole five gallons). But found where the noise is, it’s running both returns (each is plumbed to its own overflow), but the one I had out has the long long pipes going to the sump. May get some foam and wrap it around them so make dead silent again. It took me 18 months to figure this out and math and physics science was my fav subject? Hmmmm something lol isn’t right.
