Good evening guys,


I’ve had this tank going for almost a year. Every week I have to clean a lot of salt from the top of the sump specially around where I circled red. So my question is do I have too much flow coming down from the tank or is this normal? I have a synergy ghost overflow. I tried to upload a video but it wouldn’t let me hopefully the pictures are not too bad.


Thanks in advance

Not to much flow, but to much air mixed in with the water. If you have a valve in your main drain, try restricting it till you get a full syphon or at least less air being sucked into the drain.

So all the bubbles mean too much air mixed in the water?
