Hi everyone!

I recently set up a sump / overflow box for my 40g. It gurgles like crazy and makes a ton of noise (sounds like dishwasher constantly running). The over flow is CPR 102 and I don’t have the prefilter / sponge fitting on the bulk heads prior to draining , could this be why it sounds like a whirlpool? I attached a photo of return pump if relevant I have it on the lowest possible flow setting any help to make fiancé not hate the tank and make it quieter?

Depends on the plumbing setup you have for the overflow. Googling CPR 120 I see only 1 pipe/bulkhead? Can you share some pics of your setup?
If its like that, I have a similar one, the eshopps pf 800. I fixed mine with a hoffer gurgle buster in case you want to google that one. Was a quick DIY fix for me. Completely silent now
