ummm... ok!!
ok i cant stand it anymore.. the intake on the overflow keeps gurgling!!:nilly::nilly: there is a hole drilled in the top of the elbow with a airline hose stuffed down it alittle to help reduce the amount of gurgling noise it makes. how can i get it to stop completly??

Put a meshlike screen(fish net, gutter guards,fabrics, etc.) on the intake. This will help break up the vortex. I never had any noise after gluing mesh to the intake.


I don't know why people put a hole with an airline tube at the top, that did absolutely nothing for me.

Yeah put your finger on an edge of the intake, vortex disappears noise disappears :)
 
i put filterpads from my aqua clear in the overflows works great,i agree you stop the vortex you stop the noise.
 
DURSO!!
