[xclusive252]

ok I am getting alot of air bubble in the sump from the overflow pipe any idea how i can reduce the amount of air thats going in the over flow

how is the drain setup? are you using hose or just pvc?

 

[xclusive252]

just pvc I think its 1 1/2 bulk head

 

[skene]

is the drain going directly into the sump or are you using a filter sock?

 

[lylbxplaya4lyfe]

use a filter sock or some padding or i used to put the pvc all the way down to the bottom of the sump

does the elbow behind the overflow have a hole ?

ok this is what it looks like the air bubble I can stop with a sock but need to change the sock every day, and there is nothing in my tank yet its still cycling. Its the noise I am trying to stop also 2 picture 1 is the setup I have the other is what I would like to do. Plz tell me what you think to stop the noise and maybe help with the bubbles.

If I'm reading your plea for help & due ot massive reading I been doing I think your solution is the John guest tubing , see picture below...

* this is all from BeanAnimal

Your tubes are like the two that are on the left & you need to make it like the one on the right hand side.

The break down of the pipe with tubing above...

if that is the way your plumbing is... no wonder you are getting a lot of bubbles... and why would you need to replace a filter sock everyday?
The path should be as simple as possible without any extra turns as such.

The picture of the plumbing is what it is right now and goes straight down to the Sump and im getting problems with air bubbles and noise. The drawing was an idea I was thinking of
