Overflow box siphon break

[FRANK48]

For some reason my overflow box siphon keeps on breaking, causing my return pump chamber in my sump to run out of water. I’m also having a lot of problems keeping a stable water level in my sump, not sure what to do. Having a lot of tank problems

Can you tell us what overflow box you have (make and model)?

Sounds like you need more water in your tank/sump or you need to turn down the speed of the return pump if a DC pump. Do you have a pic or drawing of your sump design?

Is this a hang on the tank overflow?

Power went out ( SoCal ) and my HOB overflow lost syphon CPR 102, even had Tom aqua lifter so about 5-10 g of water on the floor lol what I’m saying is use a drilled tank

DO you have 1 or 2 tubes in it. What return pump are you using

this if he doesn't have enough flow to match the overflow it will lose siphon
