Question for People running CPR Overflows

[tamz273]

Hey guys, im still having trouble setting up my overflow/sump properly... I was wondering wat the water level of the overflow box is for u guys running a CPR...
In the box on the outside of the tank, where the drain pipe attachs to the overflow, how high is the water in that compartment? Pics would be great!

Mine drains all the way down to the drain if i let it flow. I have a gurgle buster to cut the noise, which keeps the water about 2" deep in the back. your water should be able to free flow down the drain line.

o alright... well i just talked to a CPR rep and he told me my problem is that i have a 90 on teh end of the drain pump... im going to pull that off today and try inserting a tube thats meant to go in the prefilter part to eliminate any gurgling...
for now, the gurgling isnt really the main point, its the fact that i cant keep my sump at a certain desired water level...
