    Gotcha.. yea. You can't really do that. Too much pressure. Do the main the overflow or do a hofer

    I redid the drains. My concept blew up on me. Now it's quieter than before.

    Nice job Wayne. Drains look good now! Just add some snail/fish guards and you are good to go :)

    Thanks Marshall. Those were built with egg rate on the overflow.

    Here is the video of the flow with the overflows redone. at 10 second intervals you can see and hear the gurgling. You know the solution?


    Here is the tank with some live rock I added from my 225.

    LOVE your scape! That airplane just gives it such a cool touch. I think we need to get you entered into a TOTM somewhere when this is all up and running! It will be epic :)

    Well that is my goal but I know it will come with time. Thank you for the compliments on my build. I still feel bad thinking you were a guy. #embarrassed#sosorry#forgiveme.

    Do you just have a hole drilled in the capital on the durso? Probably not large enough. Drill it and put some rigid tubing down it. Then adjust up and down till silent. Then cut the top off so they are close to flush so if your drains clog, they cover up and flush.

    Long story short, you aren't getting enough air down the drains so they are flushing.
