Alright, dumb question time! I keep trying to turn off flow to feed, and I'm struggling getting the right things turned off, so I'm hoping someone can help me figure out exactly what I need to turn off. (My fish are all small, they can't catch the food when its going around so fast.)
I have the Red Sea Max S-400, there's a decent chance that my pumps aren't labelled correctly so bear with me.
There are 2 circulation pumps on the left, in the display. There's the big pump on the right side that can't be tilted (this is where the water returns to the display from the sump, right?).
Every time I start trying to turn the pumps off, something makes a crazy sucking noise as the water level shifts around and I assume I've shut off the wrong thing. How many switches SHOULD I be turning off? 3? In the power center plug area, there are 5 things plugged in on the left side out of the 7 possible spots. I'm getting confused because there's only 5 labels on the front: return pump, #1, #2, #3, and #4. I don't have that many pumps, the S-400 only has 2 circulation pumps whereas the bigger Max S systems have more.
When I water change, I turn everything off and a bunch of water goes down into the sump and the levels get super high there. Is that the same amount of pumps that I should be turning off when I feed? I've noticed that after water changes, sometimes I have to mess with the flow valve in the back to get the water levelled out again.
Does that make any sense to anyone?
