Hello I asked this in my other post but thought I would ask it here aslo. I have an Eshopps 1000GPH Hang on Box for my Wet-Dry. I have three tubes for it two 1-1/4'' U-tubes that came with it and one 1-1/2'' U-tube that came with my second eshopps box by itself. (don't ask why I have two eshopps boxes one is going back) Ok here is my problem noticed last night I had my 1-1/2 and 1-1/4 both in going and when I checked on them there 1-1/4 had stopped and lost stuction bubbles were in it at top but my larger one was working fine. I restarted suction and hour later had stopped again? I have a Mag-12 in sump turned 40% down so it is not a pump problem. Is one 1-1/2 U-tube ok by itself and why doesn't it stop suction or loose suction with bubbles? This scares me! O yeh I had both 1-1/4 U-Tubes running for few days no problems so what is the deal and what to stick with? Thanks CD
 
put a strip of sponge media inside the box thats in the tank.. place it between the slits and the tubes.. this will cut down on the bubbles that make it to the tube...

as to if its a problem... only if the single tube is not keeping up with the pump
