actually, the bigger pump is the better option, then you won't have such a deficit of water in your fish tank

Normally if it won't break siphon, it is due to the air tube (or lack there of)...best I go back over your thread and check :lol:

Niloc, I had the same problem with the sump here. The first pump wasn't really suitable for the job. The second pump was slightly smaller, so the sump was still overflowing. So, we doubled the size of the sump, problem solved :D

There is that - but of course the biggest one is having too high an inflow for the size siphon chosen.
