So I finally got the tank wet n running now n luckily no leaks thank god but on my drain I had bad vibration in the pipe and so I extended the drain more into the sumo and that took away the vibration and now I get this loud gurgling sound coming out of it how do I get rid of this ??

Looks like an awesome setup, I wish I had put the egg crate down before my rocks. I chose to forgo it this time and wish I hadn't. It really provides a nice stability to the rock.
