I need help.
Plumbing is probably my weakest area in the hobby, and I'm having what is (probably) an easy issue to fix.
I've got a 120 with two corner overflows. Each over goes down to the sump, through the sump, and back up to the tank via a single return line that T junctions into two. Each return line divides further into two loc-line spouts.
This has been configured this way for 4 years. About 2 months ago, the tank start 'whistling' on occasion, as though there were a breeze going down a small alleyway between two buildings. I also noticed that the sump would overflow when the return pump was turned off. Both problems started around the same time and were completely new. Thinking this was a siphon problem, I moved one of the loc-lines much high so it'll "break" sooner when the return pump is off. This solved the flood problem, but I'm still getting whistling. I'm sure they're both related.
Any idea what might be going on here?
