Step 11Overflow!
I powered up the pump, and very quickly there was an overflow.
There were a few steps to fixing this properly:
1. Turned the pump down to a lower flow rate.
There was a small dial on the front of the pump for this.
2. Add more support to the front
I used a piece of square guttering that I found laying around.
At first I tried to bend it, but it ws way to strong, so instead I held it in place, and put screws there to hold it in place.
This worked really well, and was a simple fix.
3. Raise each pipe until they flow from one to the other better.
I moved everything up a lot more then I first planned, but this really helped the water flow from one pipe to the next.
These steps helped a lot, but apparently, my small pump (on low!) wasn't small enough, and I actually needed to kink the hose a little to reduce the flow further.
