Hello,
I'm new to this forum and just set up a 90 gallon All-Glass aquarium with a sump filter with one of those megaflow corner units.The water in the corner where the plumbing is fluctates up and down a few inches, accompanied by a loud whooshing sound that sounds like waves at the ocean. Is that normal? Is that, as per what I have read in some threads, called surging? It's a tad loud and annoying. When it's not 'surging', it seems nice and quiet and works fine. I'm not sure if I have set up something incorrectly, or of this is normal for drilled tanks with sump filters and a megaflow plumbing set up. Any ideas?
Thanks, Bill
