Help Gurrgle From 75g Reef Ready

[iamdickie]

I have a 75 gallon reef ready that has a gurrgle problem. the down pipe is straight from the bulk head into the sump with no more than 2 inches of pipe submerged into the sump. This is a 75 gallon ALL_GLASS aquariums mego flow 1 overflow model. I was runniong a durso pipe on it, but is was just flat out too noisy. any ideas on how to quiet this doen.

I am running a Stockman downpipe and it is sustantialy quieter than before. There is still the sound of the water in the pipe but it a minimal. There was alot of noise coming from the sump also. I totaly got rid of this by using a little trick I found in one of Geoffs old posts. Add a 45 to the down pipe and run PVC down to the sump at this angle. Just above the wate rline, add a "T". Off of the "T" add a short piece of PVC going just below the water line and a longer piece that goes up ( I had to experiment to find a length that didnt make a mess) The piece going above the "T" will alow the air to escape without sloshing into the sump and causing noise. Some small bubbles will go into the sump but the noise will be all but gone. HTH

MY DURSO IS VERY QUIET
HOW DID YOU ADJUST IT (HOLE IN THE TOP/SLOT CUT INTO THE PIPE AND USE THE CAP TO CONTOL)
I CUT A SMALL SLIT IN THE PIPE ABOVE THE 'T' AND USED THE CAP TO ADJUST AND YOU CANT HERE IT ALL........MY PIPE IN THE SUMP IS ABOUT 3-4" BELOW THE WATER LINE WITH A 90 AND VERY LITTLE NOISE
