Hey,

My reservoir looks like a hottub with the jets on full! All the water foams up. My cooling system is as follows:

everything is 1/2" fittings and tubing
Proven Pumps 500Gph (makes Ehiem's best look shitty)
DangerDen Maze 2.2
2x 172w pelts
86 chev heatercore with 120CFM 120mm fan
dangerden reservoir
distilled water + redline water wetter

THe water is sucked from the res into the pump, pushed though the block to the heatercore, through it back to the res. The water jets into the reservoir like a jet in a hottub, and it foams up. Like this pump is powerful. Is this bad? How can I stop it?
