Any one have any ideas what I can put in their place to quiet the water falling down from the sock holder area?
 
but you dont want any filtering going on in here so that might filter out some stuff but not as much
 
Extend pvc pipe one inch under the water. If you have multiple drains like a bean and go too deep sometimes it won't resiphon if your pump goes off
 
I raised the water level in my sump to minimize it.
I’m assuming you have a drain area that fills and then flows over to the filter sock area?
 
I took plastic yogurt jars, cut the bottom off, made a slice down the length so I could control the size of the cone, and stuck those in. They help the water get down quietly, mostly.
 
Like they said extend it to below the water line or install a reef mat, loving my red sea 500.
