OK I have Durso set up and pump is running, but still having some problems. I can't seem to get it adjusted right
I made durso with hole through end cap & pipe so I can adjust.

I adjust the hole big enough in durso, so overflow pipe does not make noise, and then the water level on my return section of my sump goes too low.
Then I adust the elbow / strainer inside my tank on overflow and it seems to work fine..... For a while then I get "slurpping" sounds again. So I adjust the Durso opening again. Then water in sump goes too low again... so I add water...
I have been running for a week making adjustments in
1. Durso opening
2. strainer elbow angle
3. water level in sump.
I CAN'T GET IT RIGHT!! ( it will be OK for a while 1 - 5 hours, then it will start slurping again or the water in sump goes too low) HELP!! IT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY.
ANY HELP OR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WILL BE APPRECIATED

Tom, any chance you can shoot us a picture of the durso, the pipe running to your filter sock the sump setup (I know what it looks like )? This way we can see exactly how you've got the tubing/pipes durso set up.
