I have a 125GAL WITH A 30GAL SUMP . I hAVE TWO 600GPH OVERFLOW BOXES FEEDING THE SUMP AND A MAG 12 PUMP FEEDING THE TANK. ONE OF THE OVERFLOWS IS FEEDING DIRECTLY IN TO A PROTIEN SKIMMER AND THE OTHER INTO THE SUMP. THE WATER IN THE TANK WILL NOT RISE ENOUGH TO PROPERLY FILL THE OVERFLOWS. I REPLUMBED THE OTHER OVERFLOW ( SKIMMER) SO IT WILL SPLIT BETWEEN THE SKIMMER AND IN TO THE SUMP. THERE IS A LOT OF SUCKING NOISE AND I CAN'T KEEP THE OVERFLOW FILLED. I ALSO HAVE A MAG9 WHICH COULD BE ADDED BUT IS THIS GOING TO BE TO MUCH? :thinking:

You have "standpipes" in the overflows don't you...?
