will8 hears surf in the shell
Sump Flow and gurging sound

Hello all,

Its a long time since i have been on here,
I have changed a few things on and my tank, upgraded lights and skimmer swapped my power heads for a vortech mp40. (loving it), and added a calcium reactor.

And swapped all my softies and bought lots of sps, some frags and some big ones, i am glad to say they are growing well.

I also had my tank drilled so i could install a sump, and that is where the problem is.
I had it drilled in each corner and the guy who drilled it didnt add any weirs, just a 2x1" holes,


As you can see there is just a elbow on, so the problem is, well 3 really.
I dont have enough flow though the sump only about 1.5 times, and i find it hard to get the return flow back to the tank equal to the flow going in to the sump and it make a lot of noise.

So if i made 2 small weir out of 6mm glass and take the white elbows off would doing this sort all the problem out,

This the only problem i have with the tank, so i would like to get it sorted. and enjoy my tank. at the moment i cant cos of the noise.

Here is my tank.


Thanks Will
