the pump is triping due to water coming back down to the control box and triping the pump to turn on, this will keep happening!
you need to get a check valve or shorten up the hose leaving the box to the res, lees hose = less water. this is why puttinng the
box right next to the res is key! but all this can be averted by pluting the check valve as close to the control box as possable.
your pump will not last long tripping like that so a fix needs to happen

yeah I watched it do just what you said and my hydro shop is on the check valves, dunno why the ebb and grow ships with them and not the monster.

or his 5 year old brother drilled the hole too low for the float switch, I'm really amazed toddlers even know how to read a tape measure! Those asian kids are pretty smart though.

i posted way back there lol
it was just the two enzymes reacting with each other. hygrozyme doesnt play well with others essentially. normally its not good to mix different nutrient line enymes because you dont really know what will react with each other well or not. unless they are designed to wrk with each other. you just found the baking soda and vinegar of enzymes i guess lol

one more to add to the list,sand pebbles from home deep', like a 80 lb bag for a couple of bucks,one rinse and thats it,i just changed out,went to rinse the pebbles,it was crystal clear,they are a little heavier than grow rock but i only use 6inch net pots so not an issue,one bag of pebbles goes a long way in net pots,there are some small stones in it,but they cant get thru the netpots,i i also bought a mesh wastebasket from the dollar store,its made of 1/2 in mesh,throw the rock in it and rinse,anything smaller than a 1/2 in goes thru the mesh and bobs your uncle! about 5gal bucket of rock in minutes, also i use dyna gro, never a nute issue or slime,no need to adjust ph,and contains all the nutes complete,clean,and easy,my plants love it,almost as much as i do, remember to keep it simple,your plants will love it and so will you!

the old version of the monster used to ship with check valves, my hydro store guy just told me the new version(which I got) has a 3 second delay somewhere or another thats suppose to fix the need for a check valve . funny I need one. my hydro store guy also opened a ebb and grow while I was there and it had check valve. I think I just solved my problem with the pump running by placing it intake down. this should work till I get the check valves. got one plant that appears to not like the ebb though, I may lose one but the others are doing pretty good, tops turned back the right way.
