Help my tank seems like its gonna overflow!! Its a JBJ 12gal and the 3rd chamber keeps pumping all the water out into the main tank faster than it can fill back up. When I woke up this morning the rear pump was spraying air bubbles because the water level was almost empty in the 3rd chamber. The front display part of the tank was about to overflow. I add more water into the 3rd chamber and it just pumps it all back out. Yesterday it was doing this, and I thought that the filters may be restricted slowing the flow of water into the 3rd chamber. Well I changed them and its still doing it. The tank is a year old and has never done this before. Usually as the water level drops from evaporation the main tank level drops. Now its just the 3rd chamber and I swear its gonna overflow if I add any more water. PLEASE anybody out there, any help is greatly needed and appreciated.
