i haev recently setup my sump filter
and have put a 4500lp/h return pump in there
I feel this creating too much turbulence.

does anyone know how to reduce the flow rate
Ive heard of putting a tap on it from bunnings
but not exactly sure how to go abut doing that

i have a 2 sump system and one sump pumps to the next sump
the first sump has a pump 2100lp/h and the second one has 4500lp/h but has to pump higher to the top of aquarium about 1.5 m
could anyone suggest ways to fix the flowrates so both the water comming in to the sump and water leaving the sump is the same

all help appreciated
