Overflows not filling

[NEWSALT]

Not that it seems that the leak I had is better, the other thing I'm noticing is that the two tank overflows are not filling. The tank is an AGA 180 with two overflows. The one on the right is about 3/4 full and the one on the left is only 1/4 full. What could be the problem?

Thanks.

Is the tank level?

Never mind, fixed it. What an idiot I am. What I neglected to mention and I just realized was this..each overflow has to holes drilled in the bottom of the tank. One for the overflow, one for the return. I plumbed this tank in the non-traditional way. Rather than putting the overflow standpipe in the larger hole and the return back through the smaller hole, I'm using both holes as overflows. The return is pipe external to the tank and comes over the back edge. Well since I had the standpipe in only one of the two holes, the water wasn't filling the overflow box. I put a 3/4" pipe in the smaller hole and presto, the boxes filled.
