Would this work to quiet flow?

[Roachant]

Hi,
I have a drilled 40 gallon with a bulkhead like this one:

I wanted to do put a pvc T in the back of the bulkhead but I couldn’t find one that fit so I’ll just use the fitting that came with it. Would it help the flow if I drilled a hole and added an airline tubing in the top like this? I don’t want the air to come into the drain by the front. I do plan on having an overflow box on the inside.

What type of drain are you going for? Durso (single drain line) Herbie (two drains) Bean Animal (three drains)

Durso, single drain line to sump.

Adding a airline on top like this will help quiet the gurgling, to an extent. on a durso drain.
the T is nice but this can be done. Just make sure the hole is smaller then the airline hose so the hose wedges in nice and tight.

What you need to fit a T on there is; a T the same diameter as your bulkhead, then a piece of pvc pipe to go inside the T and Bulkhead connecting the two.

The problem is, the bulkhead says its 1´´ but it doesn’t fit a 1’’ pvc pipe. It’s off by 1mm.

Ouch. Maybe this bulkhead is made just for that set
