Hi All,
Newbie poster here - I acquired a tank a while ago and was advised to do the plumbing in a particular way but I`m finding that the drains are making extreme gurgling noises (i think its the siphon/air). Is there anything that could be suggested to fix this? I've tried to regulate the valves I installed on the returns and drains but i have issues with maintaining the water level and it making noises again. Could anyone suggest an easy way to fix this?
I should add that both drains (left and right) are right into the sump water/sock (i.e. it goes right to the bottom of the sump - i will take a photo to illustrate tonight and upload).
I've been told perhaps drilling a hole in each of the drains at the top and inserting a tube might help with air? (i was thinking a sprinkler tap with a small tube coming out of it to regulate airflow?)
