Hi guys, this is my first tank with a sump and i did my own plumbing and DIY sump so I want to make sure everything is correct. The tank was used and had a basic single standpipe overflow, which I've read sucks down both air and water so bubbles are expected. I just want to make sure this amount seems normal. Thanks

If you are using just one fully open pipe then this will happen. Can you put in another pipe to set it up as a Herbie style overflow?
