This freaking gurgle in my overflow!!!!

[Raysup88]

Omg I put a new sump in and now all of a sudden my external overflow is gurgling like crazy. It’s so freaking loud now. What can I do to silence this? Raise the water level lower it? Move my powerheads and deal with that mess again?

Raise the water level, it's just pulling in too much air.
Do you have a gate or ball valve to adjust??

No. No adjustments

It would definitely help if you could get a valve under the overflow pipe to dial it in. Did you go bigger on the sump? Increase water volume?
More details would help but I would start with adding water.

You need to add a valve to that drain line so that you can adjust it but if there is not an extra drain for emergency overflow that could be dangerous. Cant really tell by the picture.

I would suggest making a stand pipe Durso Or Stockman Standpipe? Wow! What A Difference!?

 

[Jeffcb]

Slow the flow

The drain pipe shouldn’t be more than an inch or so under water in sump. This is likely the issue if return pump and overflow box where the same before and after your new sump,
A stockman standpipe will help, and would not put a valve on a single drain system

So this is the overflow external.

Hang on back or external whatever the proper term is. Tank isn’t drilled

Oh yeah, stockman stand pipe

 

[disdareef]

A ball valve and adjust the drain flow down to raise the water level will solve the problem

Temporary fix lol cut top off water bottle put a whole in the bottle top and put a small hose I use to syphon and boom complete silence lol I can actually hear the movie again lol
