Title says it all.

I tested them last week and they worked beautifully. Now, when I filled it with saltwater, there’s barely a trickle. Before it could handle the pump running at 97%. Now even 30% it overflows the tank.

Between now and then the only thing I changed was tightening the nuts on the bulkhead to stop a leak. Well, that and I am filling the tank from my stored water rather than having it all already filled, but I don’t see that changing anything?
 
I don't suppose you can show a picture of whats happening?
Are the heights, etc set correctly?
 
They are trapping air. Something has changed like the bottoms are now underwater.
