Finished sump :D

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Hi guys, ive got the sump up and running but i seem to have a small problem, the pump seems to be pumping the water into the tank faster than it is draining from the tank?????????

The pipes on the outlet are 40mm and the pipe on the inlet is off an external filter i was using, roughly 15-20mm. I really dont understand this guys, it should be working perfectly, maybe there is a design flaw somewhere. I will upload some pics and a short vid soon as i want to catch it when the level in the sump drops also. This has me really confused
 
heres a short vid of it when i 1st finished
