lower water in tank

[mikedelgado]

I would like to lower my water in my tank, but I don't know how. I have a oceanic reef ready tank. Thanks for any help you can give me!!!!!!!!

What do you mean? Just dropping the level in the display tank, or lowering it into a sump?

[mikedelgado]

I need to lower it about one inch in the display tank to keep it from spashing on the wood.

cant you just siphon it out?

[mikedelgado]

No because the sump will fill it to the level it is at now. The sump will lower. but not the level in the tank.

You need a ball-valve to regulate the flow coming from the return pump.

Its pushing up more water then the drains can handle. Cut back the flow and you should be ok.
