Yes Good luck!

I appreciate the feedback I really do. If anything it may be the shorter 3/4 inch PVC with the smaller inside diameter. I see marine depot sells a replacement part so I may order it and see how that works.

Yeah I have the original T. I wanted the fitting to go below the water line to quiet it down since the tank is in my living room. The original clear tube that fit into the T cracked so I am using 3/4" pvc instead. It's a little smaller iD but not by much. I'll have to play around with it a little more or maybe throw some silicone up at the intake hole and build it up so it doesn't flow out.

While it was noisy in the living room did the water level get so high as it does now?

I think you're right on the water level being to high. As a test I turned on the return pump about 3 seconds before turning the skimmer back on and the water didn't get anywhere close to leaking out. I also didn't let the water get high in chambers 2 and 3 this time.
