Rubber tube connects the rvt to the nipple on the overflow box. All was fine for a month. Fri when i returned from dinner my tank was filled to the brim and almost the entire contents of my sump was emptied on my wooden floor. i found that the rvt stopped ( i suspect the problem) but what can i do ? 1. did i do something incorrect in the setup of the rvt overflow? 2. do i need a second pump? 3. what broke the siphon? Now every piece of equipment is scrubbed clean and reassembled, but i am afraid to start up the system and go to bed tonight HELP PLEASE .. IF I NEED TO BUY SOMETHING ELSE TONIGHT I NEED TO DO IT IN THE NEXT 45 MINUTES
