Posted	Gurgling noise
10-02-2007 09:51 by Ed	Anyone have any tips to stop the gurgling noise for the outlet on sump ,it dosent sound too bad during the evening but at night it drives you bonkers it sounds like the lads eating brekki in the morning ,believe me its something else.
10-02-2007 09:59 by wayne	put a clear fish bag round the bottom of the outlet with lots of holes in the bottom
10-02-2007 10:02 by wayne	thier is a really rude answer to this aswell , but i dont like being banned
10-02-2007 10:04 by Ed	Wayne its the top tank that feeds the sump thats making the noise,anyway i dont know why i am speaking to you as you sold me the killer goldfish remmember
10-02-2007 10:09 by Ed	Wayne sold me the gold coloured fish as baby goldfish at 1 inch charged me a fiver each and told me he was doing me a favour,now they are over 12 inches long and killed everthing else he said to me if he had known they were red devils he would have charged me a tenner and i had a great result what more can i say.
10-02-2007 10:10 by craig	ed do you have a tap to control flow on out let if so tuen tap to slow flow down i had this problem used my tap to slow flow and now very rarely makes noise
10-02-2007 10:14 by Ed	Craig its all gravity fed so if i slow the water down the tank that feeds it will fill up too fast then the skimmer will not perform propperly.Its the tank right hand side on the top.
10-02-2007 13:16 by jonie	put a pipe cut off at an angle worked with mine
10-02-2007 16:43 by nige	use a silent stand pipe, basically a tpiece thats underwater with just one end poking out of the top with an end cap wit a hole drilled into itput some mesh over the end and bobs your unkle
10-02-2007 17:38 by trik	Ed you should of researched your fish first, lol, only playing, as for the noise i take it its from the stand pipe, if so get a bit of air line about 18inches long and bit by bit lower it into the stand/overflow pipe you will find the noise will go, and in the mean time get your flows sorted and you wont get that problem, HTH
10-02-2007 19:18 by Ste	both craig and waynes ideas will work , the problem is the water level in your tank, so by restricting the flow on the outlet it would raise your water level which would reduce the amount of air being sucked in , which is the cause of the noise . Other option is to buy a bigger pump.
