Help with overflow

[untamed]

There's more...the water level in the red pail will also affect the flow you get through that pipe. (assuming that the exit of your pipe is below water line in the red pail)

Don't want to be drilling another hole or taking a chance with a siphon so guess I'll have to life with <300gph.

Have tried with the discharge above the water level in the pail not any better.

Thought there would be a reduction from 600gph (rating for 1" bulkhead, gravity flow) if the bulkhead was horizontal but surprised it's half.

would it make a difference if you put the red bucket on the ground below the tank. This should allow gravity have a bigger effect. if your looking at running them side by side try raising the tank up higher as to have a bigger effect. (couple 2x4 stacked until you get desired flow)

it looks like the reservor is not big enough ..... the only thing that would work is to throttle the dischargeof the pump. with out tearing it apart........ or drill another hole and add a nother bulk head..
