ahahah this one is epic. wait for the pics guys its great, can't believe he spent 5hours on this yesterday!

So Chanman came by and we basically ruled out a bunch of things. Then we were forced to take apart the overflow. He theorized that something is clogging it. I'm like dude no way nothing could.

Then after taking the Durso out... here is what we find.

All this aggravation because of a snail.... He was blocking most of the drain. That was causing all that extra air to back up then go down into the sump.

Thanks to EVERYBODY for their help and input. What an adventure.

Ted,
If you cover the top of your overflow with either an ABS cutout or even gutter screening, this will prevent the med to large snails from getting into your overflow. This is reefing 101 :lol2:

 

[chanman]

that's a dead snail btw

Chanman- can you come over? I got a loud newborn spitting up all over the floor.

it's driving me insane.
I could be being overdramatic, but man it seems to be problem after problem.
Goodness I hate it
Please excuse my anxiousness, but I'm a walking zombie right now. -_-

Pick up some perforated pipe or eggcrate, this will prevent this problem.

Not that I'm nuts but, sometimes a little water noise helps ease the mind. Like a waterfall.

lol, I have a level of acceptable water noise, which is much higher then my GF acceptable level of noise. So, it is quiet.
