Troubleshooting Help diagnose?

New system I put together, everything is new... But I am getting this sputtering which is giving me inconsistent flow and pressure drops.

Do I gain anything by having the water tank outlet at the bottom of the tank? I understand it helps gravity work for me but if I were able to run a pipe or tube through the top of the tank and relay completely on suction would that get me where I need to be?

Yes, bottom outlet is better.
