Sump very loud help!

[Ebenm]

Hello everyone, I’m a new reefer and recently bought a tank from a friend. I rebuilt everything and finally filled it over a course of a week. Everything is running fine but my first problem I’ve had is the sump being very loud. It seems to be the overflow pipe running into the cylinder has a lot of flow. Is there a way to make it quieter without draining the tank and rebuilding all the plumbing. I’m fine with adding new plumbing or valve to fix but idk how. I will attached a video with my problem. https://youtube.com/shorts/FlhkRu5wcvc?feature=share

Yes, if you add a gate valve on the PVC portion you can probably dial in the flow better.

Would I attached it to the bulk header? On the water going into the display tank or coming out?

Probably to the PVC portion in the sump.

you could also use the return pipe as the main drain and the current durso as the emergency pipe. I did this before as durso setups are just more finicky and louder than 2 pipes (herbie overflow)

then you just run the return line behind the tank and over, just an option to have incase you arent liking the way it was running, but as blaxsun said, get a gate valve as well. Either system will need a gatevalve to adjust flow.

Slow it down, your durso can’t keep up
