I'm trying to figure out what the deal is. I have a Mag 9 plumbed externally setup as my return from my sump. When I turn the pump on it sounds like it is sucking air from the outlet and I have many microbubbles in the tank. The outlet is 3/4" mpt with a 3/4" mpt x slip coupler attached.
I used Teflon tape on the threads of the pump and screwed the coupler down hand tight. After a week or so I decided to try to use additional Teflon tape to see if that helped and of course it didn't. I'm not sure what I should do about this, I thought about just smearing some silicon around it but perhaps someone has a better idea.
