Bean, I hope I have solved my restarting problem, but I am not sure what did it? I lowered the full siphen about another inch ito the sump. I raised the small tube on top of the overflow cap to where it does not come into play unless the water level gets real high. I lowered the emergency bulkhead to where it works does come into play when the system first starts up. I have cycled it 8 or 10 times this morning and it started each time.
Do you turn yours off at feeding time? That is a lot of water dumping back into the sump each time.
My sump has three compartments fuge, skimmer and pump.
Where would you place each drain line?
Less flow in sump and more in skimmer?
