Greetings all, first time post.
After a number of follies i decided to plumb my 75G Bow front into the basement over the weekend. I have a pretty good pump corallife external somthing or other (2400 gph i think) b'cause i have a head of about 20'..needless to say i have a ball valve in front of it to dial it down, and it goes from 1" out to 3/4 in about 5'.
My question is that my return line is 1" all the way down with a few angles and turns, and ive got ALLOT of turbulence in the return...shaking pipe (altho ive anchored it a little better) and huge bubbles & noise in my sump that is returning not so clear water back up top.
I have a ball valve in the drain line as well and have tried to back off the drain a little but it just seams to confine the noise and bubbles higher up in the pipe (right above the ball valve of course!)
any suggestions?:unsure:
thanks!
