I have a wet-dry filter that has been running in my 55 gallon for 2 weeks with no trouble. Today I moved the pump a little because it was vibrating against the side and now suddenly it pumps more water into the aquarium than is flowing back down to the sump. The sump runs dry just before the aquarium overflows. Does anybody know what to do to fix this? Thanks!

A ball valve can be found in most plumbing sections. But I'm a bit curious why only a minor nudge of the pump would cause this. Was an inlet blocked before?
I will look for a valve. I had a lot of trouble setting it up but after that it seemed fine. There must have been something blocked somewhere. I checked for kinks in the tube and cleaned of the drip tray in case there was something blocking that. I tried moving the overflow box up and down to see if that changed the flow any...I have about 58 lb live rock--how much would I need (55 gallon) to skip the filter and just let the rock do the work?
