Gurgling noise from filter socks

[Sobo's Reef]

Hey guys, I just got done plumbing my new sump. I have 2 drains, one on each end of the sump. The one on the right is fine but the one on the left is really noisy. Its weird bc the one of the left has a longer distance to travel to get to the sump. You'd think the right one would be noisier since its basically vertical.

Anyways, I have both hoses just beneath the water level. Any ideas to help me quiet this down?

What drain format do you have setup ? Herbie, Durso or ??? I run a dual drain Herbie and as long as it is at full siphon its virtually silent.

Durso

Is it vented ? If not the air bubbles from the water going over teeth into overflow box build up.

Yes, it has tubes coming out the top of the durso pipe.

Try adjusting the vent pipe up & down to find a sweet/quiet spot.

Good idea. Thanks, I'll give that a try

Do you think by going from a 4" sock to a 7" sock will quiet it down at all?
