Tank will overflow from top. help
if my power goes out, or when I cut power to my pump for feedings...
when I turn teh power back on, the tank water rises fast and the overflow doesnt start working unless I give it help, I am using a mag 9.5 in a 90bow... should I downgrade to a mag 7 ?? is it pumping to fast to start a syphon?? once its running, its fine.. but if I'm not here when the power goes out, OUCH !!! I am thinking of trying the mag 7 ?? good idea, will it fix my problem you think ? |

What kind of overflow is it? What kind of help do you have to give it?

My guess is that when the power is off some air gets
into the overflow and it takes a little time to clear. So until it does the mag. out pumps the overflow. The good news is that the air in the overflow stops the water in your tank from back flowing all over the floor. Its best to post a pict. or two so we can help you. All the best dbr |
