i have two overflows in my 150

the tubes that come from the bottom of the overflows have always were
about a third full of water and the water level at the top of the overflows
where always about 2 inches below the bottom of the overflow grates.
now one side, (right) has changes. the tube on the right (underneath the overflo) i just about full with a small air pocket (about 6 in) and the top of the overflow is level with the tank water level.

any ideas?? there is no blockage in the right overflow or its stand pipe.
we think maybe that the spot where it drain into the tank, which is a T
where both sides meet is blocked, but that part is glued. we'll have
to unscrew the clamp on the right side and see if there is blockage.
i'm worried that it wont go back together tight enough..???

I'm sorry I don't quite understand you explanation of what is happening. It sounds like one of your overflows is clogged up.
