It is a Pondmaster Mag Drive Model 24. I will swap out with a Pondmaster Mag 350 after XMAS. I need to redo the plumbing to fit this aquarium. Things have been fine since I turned it down, but if I have the flow reduced that much, may as well swap out pumps.

I turned down the pump and the siphoning stopped. I will switch out the 2400 g pump with a smaller one this weekend. I will also keep an eye on the breather hole as well. Thanks for the help!

I got it! The tee goes on sideways so the elbow comes off the side of the tee, facing down (this is the drain) the end cap goes on top and has a little breather hole in it. Its been awhile, but its all coming back. Now to plumb the sump for the return pump!

I can figure out the return, but the other one is a little confusing.

Here are the parts:

OK, its been awhile since I've had to rebuild. Just got an Deep Blue Edge 57 tank with center overflow. Tank came with 20" plumbing kit but no directions. I figured out the return plumbing, but its the plumbing going to my sump that I am struggling with. Any ideas or diagrams? Thanks
