A new problem....

My overflow to my tank is done by 1 of our sponsors. All running well, but now there seems to be a loud slurpping sound. Nothing was touched, but sometimes i get this slurpping sound. When that happens, i have to use my hand to move the water around near the overflow pipe and all is back to normal.. What is causing it? Starting to become annoying

It's probably the overflow losing siphon and sucking a lot of air instead. Be careful because once the siphon breaks and no one is around to rectify it, no water goes to your sump and the remaining water from the sump gets pumped back to your main tank. There could be dire consequences eg. main tank overflows and floods your place, pump in sump becomes overheated causing power trip when sump runs dry. If prolonged without intervention, your main tank may crash.
