This would not play on my iPad. Send a photo of the equipment that is noisy.

When I ran the p300 I made a cover out of plastic for the back panel of the overflow box it made it much for silent. Let me find a thread for you where people modified.

Eshopps pf-300 Overflow Question

Hey guys just installed this overflow last night I currently run barebottom and have a Jaboe Dct-8000 my question is could I add another U-Tube to my overflow to double the flow through it?

I have an eshops overflow in my bedroom tank that I've tried everything to quieten down. The only thing I found that made a huge difference was slowing flow wayyyy down. Like 30% of a dcp 3000 and the ball valve at 50%.

I have two HOB overflows, one on my 20g and the other on my 75g. The first thing is to toss that foam and tube and build yourself a Stockman Standpipe like this one. They're easy to make and just a few bucks in material. It doesn't have to be exactly like in the video but gives you an idea of what it should look like.
My 75g is right next to where I watch TV so that had to be quiet and after installing the Stockman it's almost silent, the only sound you hear is the faint trickle of the water going through the drain pipe. For the 20g I did the same and it quieted down the overflow but there was still a lot of noise coming from the sump where the water was gurgling in the first chamber. To remedy this I installed a valve on the drain tube just above the sump, slowed the water flow just a little so it stopped gurgling and all is good

the gurgling sound is most probably because you have the overflow section highup in the tank. Use the plastic screw to adjust and lower the black overflow box inside the tank so that the level of water is higher. that way water flowing in has to travel less if you know what i mean.

Thanks, looking into making something like this. The sump is not an issue as its behind the wall in another room.

Will try that thanks
