Barry,
I had a noise problem with my overflow as well. The best fix I have ever
seen for this is a standpipe design called a Durso (I think) standpipe. The
guy that thought of this is, in my book, a genius and has saved many a
reefkeepers countless sleepless nights. Try this link below, and look for
the standpipe design (this is an old link, and I am at work where believe it
or not, we don't have internet access, otherwise I would check it first
myself). It is truly a thing of beauty! It is cheap, takes about 10 bucks
and fifteen minutes to make. I cant even hear my overflow any more, at all.
Good luck,
Shane C.

Reefkeepers:
I'm having a terrible time with my overflow unit. It keeps making
all these
loud gurgling noises. I can't seem to quiet it down! I've tried
using it
with a ball valve, took out the prefilter sponge in the overflow,
and have
tried putting a piece of airline tubing down the drain hose. So far
nothing
has worked! I'm open for suggestions or would I be better off with
a
siphonless type of overflow unit such as the one made by CPR?
Thank you
Barry
