noisy sump ?

[kwtowmaster]

I just removed bio ball in wet/dry sump .now water falls straight down nothing to break the fall.sounds like a waterfall .should I remove the plate that has a bunch of little holes on it that is just under the flex tube?and attach a peice of pvc to run from the end of the flex tube and run it a couple of inches under water in bottom of sump?or is there a better way?

Yes, i would recommend placing a piece of PVC from the flex tube and submerge the end a couple of inches below the water line. I would also drill a small hole in the PVC just above the water line as well, so that any air in the line can escape before hitting the sump water. This might add a bit of backpressure, so keep an eye on your tank to make sure your overflow can handle this and doesn't overflow.
