Herbie Overflow - Starting over

[Coralgurl]

Ya, I'm not sure what's going on with the skimmer but will check it out.

I dialed back the return flow, I have to check back on turnover, the skimmer def pushes the flow along.

Your standpipe is lower than mine, its just figuring out how far to keep the water below the teeth, it seems to always settle at about 2.5 inches above the pipe.

I've been so busy with work that I haven't been home much before 9 this past week, so not much tinkering time.

Are you able to tell whether the sound is coming from the pipe or the teeth ?

You may need to experiment with different standpipe heights
I know it took me a few tries to get mine where I liked it

That may not be the issue though and you'll need to play with your flow rate, then adjust the standpipe after the fact

How tall is your overflow box ?

Tank is 24" tall, overflow to bottom of teeth is 22".

The drain line in the sump is approx 2" below water level.

Right now, the adjustments made today are perfect, now it's finally quiet.

That's great news

So what'd you do ?
