Hey guys , im using a herbie overflow system coupled with a filter sock to remove large detrititus before it enters the sump . However , as detritius slowly build up on the filter sock , the flow of water into the sump is somewhat reduced , causing the wayer level in the sump to fluctuate and my ATO to not function properly. Does anyone of you know how to resolve this issue ?

Try placing your ATO in your return chamber section away from where the sock is(assuming your drain line is into the sock in its own chamber)
