I built a short durso standpipe for my eshopps PF800 overflow.
I'm having some trouble, I can't get a good flow rate. I am currently using the Hofer Gurgle Buster, and i can get 800 gph on that but it's noisy. What can I do to the durso to get 800 gph. It should be able to handle that am I right? Not sure if the hole i have drilled in the top is to small or to big.
It's just under 1/8".
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Maybe try opening the hole more and pass a 1/4 od tubing x 6-8 inches long till it breaks the internal bubble.

I put a bigger hole in the cap. But it still can't take the flow I'm giving it. I have to crank my pump down by 3/4. What happens is the weir in the tank overflows because it can't take the water as fast.
I'm only putting about 700 gph (guessing).
I have a Jebao DCW-5000 @80% I have a lot of plumbing to go thru though.

I guess I'll have to stay with the Hofer Gurgle Buster
