Here's a DIY for that. Basically the same thing here. It's called the Hofer Gurgle Stopper.

Hope it helps.

Dude...totally off subject. I keep meaning to tell you.

Your Avitar is hillarious!
It actually freaks me out a bit.:up:

Running 2 Hofers on mine. Took a little tweaking but they are very quite and a whole lot cheaper.

I was about to redo mine to the hofer's when I move to the new stand. How difficult where they to adjust? Was it a flow or noise issue that gave you the most trouble?

Not difficult to adjust. I actually just re-did mine as the old one had to have the pump dialed back so as not to overflow the tank. Made with 1.25" pipe and drilled 5 holes at one level, then 3 holes below that level. Started it wide open then moved the bell housing up til I found the sweet spot.

If you don't have a dremel to grind out the inside of the bell, a sharp knife works well enough just shaving away a bit at a time (good to do during a TV show since it can take a while).

those standpipes look like a great idea. cool.

I ran a Hofer Gurgle Buster in my overflow box with 3/4" drain tubing and it ran fine with my Mag 9.5
