My G-6 is Blowing insain bubbles help needed

Oceanblue · 06/02/2006, 07:20 AM

I redirected the water from flowing out the top to a elbow to another one and ran the water through a tube back into my sump. Has anyone or does anyone know how to make this thing stop throwing so many bubbles my tank is full of them cause of it. If i take the elbows off it pumps so much water that it slplastes everywhere.

Try replacing the first elbow with a Tee installed sideways and add another elbow to the outlet pipe so the water discharges at the surface of the sump water level (parallel to it ) and point it away fro your return pump pick-up.

Second the T. Works great at letting air bubbles escape up and not into your sump.
