Hey everyone
I was hoping someone could answer this question. I recently plumbed my first tank and did a leak test yesterday. I have a bean animal style drain in my overflow box. On my full syphon line I have a gate valve. This is a innovative marine ext that came with 1 in drain bulk heads. I kept 1 inch pipe all the way to my filter roller.
my issue is that my full syphon line is noisy. The only thing I can think of is that I’m closing the gate valve to alter the water height, and I don’t have one inch of water going through the pipe causing it to be noisy. Is that a thing? I didn’t think a gate valve would affect the noise in the pipe. Is there anything else I am missing that could cause this?
any help would be appreciated, I really would like a silent tank.
