I just realized that i made my DIY PVC overflow the wrong way, which would explain alot of things....
I took the basic concept of a PVC overflow but did not look at the image while putting together the pieces as i thought i had it down. Now it seems like i am getting more of a "suction" effect than an actual overflow, which is creating massive amounts of noise. Moreover, it stops every once in a while because suction is too much?, and it does not start itself back up.
The piece i placed wrong is where the water comes out of, its supposed to be placed further up and on the air escape(tall) tube.
I will probably be redoing this right tomorrow.
Question to you guys though, how would the placement of the output interfere so much with this design?
Here are some pics of the one i built...
