I would like to learn more about these devices and how they really work. I have an overflow and it is quite noisy and I’d like to fix that without limiting my flow too much by closing my gate valves. Anyone have some good insight or experience on building a gurgle buster?

I made one years ago for a 40br. It worked really well once it settled in, though I would recommend having an emergency standpipe for backup. It’s been a really long time, but I bet if you googled “hoffer gurgle buster” you can still find a parts list and directions.
Herbie and bean animal designs weren’t around when I made mine, and now that they are, I’d have a hard time doing anything different. I made a bean animal on my current tank and it is superior to the gurgle buster in every way.

He’s asking because he saw one on my sump settling tank, and I was too busy to update my thread...
Dude, I updated my thread, lol, sorry fir the wait
It’s part of my sump system where I have 2x29g feeding into a 125. My DT has a BA system running into the basement where the sump is.
I wouldn’t do it on a DT, since a BA system is truly silent (unless you have a particularly ****** designed overflow box that suffers from ‘weir drop’...)

some more info and pictures of your overflow would help. But yes ^ google it and it will show you how to make some. pretty simply. I ran one on a 55g for two years no issues, rather quiet.
I am herbie or get lost these days tho when i build a tank
