So I am to the point now with my build that I am testing out the pump that came with it from the guy I bought it from, and bingo you guessed right it does not work.
It is a Reeflo Blowhole 1450 pump and I cant get it to do anything but get VERY hot. I called the manufacturer to see if I am doing something wrong or if it just needs replaced. It is not self priming but the water level in the sump is above the pump and even when I turn it on, nothing happens. Any advice on if I am making some stupid mistake here?
Second question, and this is a very noob question and I feel stupid asking it but I have never had any sort of drilled system. This tank is drilled with 2 gravity fed lines going to the sump and the return line is obviously hooked to the pump. My question is, how do I adjust the water level in the display tank? I know it has to do with adjusting the bulkheads (if that is what you call them) but I dont know what direction they are even supposed to be facing! Maybe there are some guides or diagrams out there I am missing?
Here are pics of the plumbing:
