briefly 65 gallon marine running rio 800 rvt connected to cpr overflow... 20 gal berlin sump / sea urchin skimmer and rio 3100 return pump with check valve. 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 20 gallon sump was emptied on my wooden floor. after inspection i found that the rvt stopped or was clogged ( i suspect the culprit) HELP
1. did i do something incorrect in the setup of the rvt overflow initially? does the other tube on rvt currently connected to the rio 800 need to be split or go somewhere else?
3. do i need a backup rvt? if so what would you recommend?
4. what broke the siphon?
Currently 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
