my sump is 30x13x15 which makes it a 25g. the main baffle is 10" high so that makes the pump compartment 10.5x13......ask about anything else if this isnt the problem.

SO did ya add more water to you sump yet.....Honesty looking at the picture i can't see nothing else wron. Unless its me.. Sorry i cant come over to help ya out .... i can start sitting next week so i will hopfully be able to come over and take a look for ya ok....

Ok i have to edit here i just saw something..

Ok you have 2 or 1 overflows in the tank. If you have 2 overflow why do you have it only going to one drain if that is the case. And its been mentioned before. You should have a bigger pipe drain from the 2 split lines to help with the flow.

Now if you have 1 line then i think the proble is that you have to maybe lower the 2nd baffle..other then that i'm Stumped

ok.... how bout the space between baffles...

there is something wrong with the drains if your tank overflows
can you take pics of the overflow then follow the plumbing down to the sump... more pics are needed to see what your system looks like

What are "stacks" in your overflow? Are you talking about the standpipe? If so, that isn't your problem. Mine is level with the top of my overflow.

yes Harvey if his stand pipes or stacks are at the top of his tank well "Yes" it will be a big problem its going to keep filling up from the sump until the water starts going thur the pipes. ANd if that means sucking all the water out of his sump to fill the tank. Well that would be the problem.
Harvey how big is your Sump compared to Nanoreefs...


Now Nanoreef is the pipes close to the top of the glass or are they close to the overflow.

how down are the pipes from the top of the tank?
