Keep your return half out the water so it sucks air in and breaks the syphon when it flows backwards.

Wish I would have checked the thread sooner. What did you say? Just curious as to how the overflow master mistook my question.
*No disrespect intended, I seriously want to know what you thought I meant, just for future reference.
I read it cross-eyed (almost at 1am). I missed the part about the problem being in the return line. It was an easy fix and I thought it was more complicated than that. 
ok im going to try this on a 55g with a 10g as the filter,100 to 200gph pump.
few questions i cant figure.
the u inside the tank,does that go to the bottom of the tank?
and the inlet? in the tank,how high from the bottom do i go?where i want my water line?
thanks in advance

The u bends don't have to go to the bottom.Just make sure they are lower than the T piece that goes to your sump.I have mine going to the bottom ,IMO it has better flow that way.
Make the inlets just a tad lower than where you wan't your water level.
so the inlet,it should be high enough that if the pump stops
it only drains to the bottom of the inlet? "i only have a 10g filter"
but the inlet has to be underwater at all times?
hope you understand all that
