    My over flow is gargling and making a lot of noise.  The tank is in my bedroom so need to quite it down a little bit.  If you can help or give input it would be greatly appreciated. Thanksv/DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/crazy.gif

    I bought a filter to put around the pipe. That seemed to work well for me! Good luck!

    You might drill a 1/4" hole in the top of the elbow and put a small piece of hose in it..that should quiet it down. It worked for my tanks.
