The sump I have has 2 bulheads one for a return pump and one I plumbed in as a drain. I got a threaded elbow and some threaded pipe and ajusted the hight to be the same as my water level. I moved my auto top up,to match the same level. New water comes in old water gose out.

The dayly water change has been up and running for four days now and every thing is working great.
When I mixed up the salt in the can and tested the water. I used reef best right now and swiching to DD salt. Ca 450 ppm mg 1300ppm KH 7 I raised The KH to 9. Will have to wait and see if thats enough to keep the tank belanced.

The daily water change has been up and running for six days so far.
I tested the tank water to day and my KH has been dropped to 7KH. I like to have my KH around 8-9, so I increaced the Kh in the can to 14KH. I hope this will slow the KH drop. Ca was still good 420ppm, but I use a Ca reactor. In the can the Ca use tested at 500 ppm, which is a high but seams to be doing just find. My clams seem to be openning a little more and the rest of the corals look the same. I changed the drain around because it wass getting air lock, no vent to releave the back pressure. I swithed the flex tube for 1 1/4 pvc pipe.Lowered the auto top up 1mm to stop freash water comming on and off as much.
