Originally, when I put water in the tank, the display area and the rear chambers were about even. The water was just above the filter floss in my media basket. The chambers were also quiet.
When I did my recent water change, I may have put too much in. When the return pump is off, the water level is about 3/8" below the framing. when I turn the pump on, water pulls from the back chambers and the water level goes up to about 1/4" above the framing. It's not consistent though. As I check the tank from time to time, I notice that the water level rises and lowers by 1/4" or so. The tank is also making a "gulping" noise in the rear chamber. I don't have anything but a heater in chamber 1, there is an InTank media basket in chamber 2 with some clean filter floss on the top and Seachem Matrix in the middle. There is nothing in the bottom level. The rest of the 2nd chamber is open. The 3rd chamber has a filter sponge in the connection from the 2nd chamber to the 3rd, the pump area is just on the other side of that. The pump area is not getting to low, but it seems like there is a little too much water in the display area and not enough in chambers 2 & 3. Can I fix this with flow? (DC pump) Do I have too much/little in the tank as a whole?
Any suggestions are welcome.
