Bingo! That valve controls the water level in both sumps, but evap replacement only happens based on the main sump water level. It was totally unplanned, but kind of neat when I figured it out.

Of course, it could be something related to the Ca/Alk that your specific tank uses. It think it is fairly accurate to say that both Kalk and Ca reactors deliver both Ca/Alk in a mostly balanced...

I'm of the same opinion. While my current tank runs both, I haven't had it running long enough to spot a trend. My LONG term experience is running Kalk only..which always tended toward low Alk.

That's right. The primary drain (with the gate valve on it) is just a bulkhead on the bottom of the overflow. The emergency drain has a standpipe.

When you first turn it on, water should fall...

The amount of flow that you can get through any particular pipe is dependent on the head pressure of the water above it. It is actually the reason that Herbie works. I can't tell you how much flow...

Have you tried Corix Water Products? They special ordered for me a lot of the things I needed, including some Spears Gate valves. The largest I purchased was only 1.5" though.

Yes, I can see the camera looking around. Sometimes when I've got my arm in there doing something, I can tell that someone has aimed the camera my way.
