External overflow using EMS...worked fine for 2+ weeks
Lost power yesterday for a few minutes and when I came home I notice a gurgling noise!
Restarted the return pump and no siphon the the primary drain.

Started to thing something clogged the line (snail).
Drain about 80g's of water so I can move the tank and have access.
Removed everything and no clog?

Added back the water and started back up...no siphon.
Place a finger over the secondary drain hole and nothing.

Primary is about 1/2" from the bottom, secondary is about 1 1/2" from the top (with a hole) and emergency is about an 1 from the top of the overflow

Not sure what else to do??
 
Sometimes buildup on your return pump or plumbing changes the flow rates, try closing the gate valve on the main siphon a bit at a time to see if you can get the right flow rate for a full siphon again.
