I recently purchased a 120gallon, dual overflow acrylic aquarium. I just setup the overflow and plumbing but ran into a issue. When the tanks up and running and waters running through all the pipes, theres a gurgling sound on both drains, thats ridiculously loud. Now this setup is not the way "I" would have done it, but everything was glued together and I didn't want to take the time to start from scratch.
Any input, would be much appreciated. Thank you

Pics taken via metro, sorry..

As you can see in the pictures, its a Pvc T fitting connected to a Elbow and a cap. The elbow has 2 holes drilled onto each side ( 4 drilled holes in just the elbow ) and 1 drilled spot in the cap.
