Fluval SP4

Do you have a ball valve on the return line? Your return pump is rated for 1822 ghp but you overflow box is rated for 1100 gph, so sounds like you neeed to turn down the flow to your return more if it isn't already.

I dont think it should be like this, maybe someone else has an opinion on if its OK, OR drain and seal that bottom gap with a another panel and silicone

And then to answer an original question, you'll probably want to get an ATO to maintain that level once you figure out the flow, or you'll be adding fresh water with a jug every day or 2

Yea I would dial back the return pump,

But yea the water should be over flowing over that last panel so it keeps that level am I looking at it right?

Also maybe Ask the previous owner what he did different than your doing
