This is my first drilled tank with sump. The sump will sit below the tank in the stand. I set up the tank/sump/plumbing outside as a test and had a few issues. I'm using a herbie overflow for the drains, and an over the top return.
The return line was setup with 3/4" ID tubing and the siphon break was very quick. I switched it out to the 3/4" OD tubing to add the quick release valve and now it takes several minutes before that last little trickle stops. Is this to be expected?
How do most/some/anyone secure flexible return line? If I go with the larger tubing the quick release valve I have won't fit as designed, what can I use above the return pump, so servicing the pump is easier?
Here's a picture of the quick release valve. It had no labels, so I don't know the manufacturer or where to find a similar one. Any idea where I can find a replacement as this one is now leaking.
Also, how to secure or support the ball valve. I've read several threads where they highly recommend supporting them, but not how.
