Ok. The oil in the mysis supercharges the sump return pump, it runs faster, it puts more water the main tank, and the sump lowers accordingly.
That sounds more plausable Tony, fatty acids coating a drian pipe wouldn't slow down the drain, they would speed up the return pump. I could run an experinement of the flow rate before and after adding mysis to test this theory. Good Job!
