Problem I was having is the 2 tubes in the overflow box. They were both working at about 40%. Now I just have 1 and its always filled with water coming from the tank. No need to regulator on the return now. If anything, I may need a higher GPH pump. No biggie though.
Your tank is filling faster that your drain can keep up, like i said in my comment on vid 1 ya should 've used atleast 1' pipe, plus that nipple conn is your main downfall, next time you go to the depot look for refridgerator drip pans and they will have bulk heads on them(in plumbing) and if you are upgrading ya def should upgrade you return pump, you want around 300pgh Goodluck man!
All I used for the sump was a 10 gallon tank I had laying around. As I said in the video I picked up a plastic container from Target to place my rock rubble in. Thing of upgrading to a 20 for the sump though.
Careful with those twisty ties... They have metal inside them usually

always use nylon, glass, acrylic, or something along those lines that will not corrode...especially with saltwater applications.

forget the instructions dude. research overflow and sump operation and design your own plan for your specific use.

I like the clear tubing from HD better, as you can see the water/air flow.

instead of limiting your return pump witch is already to small to begin with just make a bigger drain go to 1 inch
