Gurgling Emergency Stand Pipe

[Mazamere]

Just set up 2nd hand 34 gallon cube. The water in the overflow is going into the emergency drain and making a gurgling sound. There is something that almost resembles a durso stand pipe on the main drain but not quite. I will attach some pictures and video to explain the set up a little better. Any advice on quieting the system would be so much appreciated.

Is there a valve on the main drain?

That’s was my thought also as soon as I finished reading the post.

If there is a valve on the durso then open it up. If not then check for some kind of blockage in the main pipe.

Also, what’s on the end of this (airline?)?

Personally i would change it to an herbie system.

as flsalty said regarding valve on main drain if you have open it up a little until the water stops going down the emergency drain.

No valve. I drilled a hole on the top of the stand pipe and inserted an airline because the durso was also making a loud gurgling sound.

How about on your return? You need a way to adjust the flow. Since the main is wide open and you still get overflow into the emergency drain, you need to slow the flow of the return a little.

Thanks for the advice. So I need to put a valve on the return to adjust the flow or change for a dc pump.

Don't go with DC just add valve
