I'm using a durso system and it still is very noisy. I've installed a 90 degree elbow at the sump end to direct the flow but it still gurgles and causes excess noise. I've tried closing down the drain flow with the ball joint but then I have to dial back the return flow to the tank. I've been...
The sand is a mixture of live sand from the LFS and bagged sand. Some of the algea could have hitchhiked in on the sand or live rock. My LFS keeps telling me to be patient and to sifon the sand when I do my water change. I'm planning the water change for Saturday.
