Hmm that's interesting. I guess I could take it out and see if anything improves. Would need to find something else to prop up my pump tho. Good looking out Dan, I never thought about that.
Just took it out. Here's to hoping it helps.
Not following ya
I think he meant, multiple layers (folded) of pond liner as the pad, that should not leach anything.
Oh alright. Yeah I'll see what I can find, thanks guys.
R carbon pellets bad if they get inside the DT??? My bag of carbon I threw in there last night fell on its side somehow and some carbon is in the DT. Gotta do a water change in a little bit to get it out
No they won't hurt anything.

Okay guys, new topic I wanna try and tackle. I'm gonna show you a picture of my overflows and I wanna try and figure this out with as minimal work as possible. Basically what I have going on is a ton of flow coming out of the left return nozzles and.hardly any flow coming from the right nozzle.
I know why its doing this but my question is how can I make it so its flowing out almost the same? The right side is where my manifold is so that's why it has little flow from there, its going to my bio pellet reactor and GFO reactor. I do have the controllable return pump BUT if I turn it up too much, it starts dumping into my sump. So I have a pretty finicky situation.
Do I just redo my plumbing a simpler way? Any advice guys? Here's a few pics of my sump.
Also remember this was originally set up for the older tank with the glass holes overflow not the corner overflows so that's why it looks cluttered(bothers me that it looks this way honestly)

Ball valve on the strong side? Disclaimer: this is not my area of expertise haha

Lol I thought about that. Not sure if it would work tho.
I guess I also should have added that my "connecting pipes" are all flex PVC.
first remove that intake piece you have on the pump, you're limiting the amount of water it can take in!
second if you copy my manifold design, I have 1 single return that splits to go to the 2 overflows and the manifold is controlled independently.
As you can see the right side tubing goes to my returns and is split with a Y adapter then the manifold flows to the left. This ensures equal flow from both

Wait I'm confused by that Lol, is that yellowish tubing on the right you're intake?
Bc I don't have enough hose to(another reason i wanna redo my plumbing). I had the pad underneath of it to level it out but turns out that pad may not have been reef safe.
Huh? Lol
