    overflow

    sump is all ready pretty low, if i go any lower it wont be a wet dry sump anymore, none of the balls will be under water anymore.

    if i raise the spray head "return" in the DT, it will cause bubbles.

    so that's what i was thinking, break the siphon right.

    the air tube mod should work ? it is just I mean JUST under the water line with pump running. check out the pics, what am i doing wrong ?

    I don't know whether you have a siphon overflow box or a drilled overflow, but I think he was under the assumption that you had a siphon overflow and that was the problem.
