I know its hard but, a pic is worth a thousand words. Just take the pic with the pump turned off.
If a pic is not possible.........
How do you run the back section of your tank?
For instance, I run my 29 "flooded". What I mean is I have added water to the tank so the back is full all the way up to the top grate.
My first thought is your hose. Your new pump isn't quite as big in diameter as the old one. So the hose is not as tight around the output so its sucking in air. That is completely possible if you don't run the back section "flooded". OR the 90* fitting isn't completely tight. You know where it goes through the false back wall.

I have the 29 gallon. I removed the grate at the bottom of the first chamber. That's where I have my heater since that water level never changes. I removed all the media from my tank. I don't run bio balls or LR rubble or cheato. I removed the sponge from the third chamber too. I replaced the pump with a RIO 1400+ for more flow. I have a Korallia 1 in the display side.
Oh......I did brake down and I built a skimmer, and I run it in the first chamber with my heater. Its been running about 3ish weeks now. The tank has been up for about 2 years now.
