is that pic the most recent one - your outlet hose is completely submerged - heck even getting it out and letting it hit agaist the side of your sump will disa pate the noise
how many gph are you running
why is your water level so high - does your aqua c dictate that?
do you have a cover over the area your water is dumping in to - I can not tell - looks like not
when you get your water falling more gently many of your bubbles will go away
on your skimmer , do you have an air-in hose - drop some water in it and let it clear is so or put your thumb over the hole - where is the wistle coming from
you need SLIME

Everything I read says to keep the drain line submerged at least a few inches but I'm game. At this point I'll try anything. I can't really make the hose go right then left. the hose won't flex that tight without kinking. I put new bulkheads in the tank that are threaded on each end. I can remake it out of PVC and come down to a 90 and go right and then put in 2 more 90's and come back left and then into the sump. One the line coming back I can increase the pipe size to 1-1/2" and that should slow it down some too. I think I may be able to do this with crap I have laying around. I will try it if anyone thinks it will work/help.
I don't know. The overflow is suppose to handle 600 GPH and I have a Mag 9.5 with maybe 4' of head but I open the valve to slow the flow into the tank.
I have a cover that covers half of that area and a piece that goes about 8" down so the water has to go under it.
I have about 11" of water in the skimmer section. the skimmer has to be in around 9" of water and I have it raised up some.
If I put my thumb over the air intake it shuts right up.
