I setup this new tank but I am having some issues with the plumbing. I notice it is very loud and seems to get lots of air in the plumbing. I attached the video to see what I mean.

I couldn't find the picture thanksYour hole is in the wrong place....you're still siphoning. The hole needs to be above the waterline. Make this durso instead and put a hole in the top of the endcap.
The hole in the side doesn't need to be there. The hole in the top needs to be bigger, go up in sizes slowly till the water level in the overflow is steadyI guess I am still confused. There is a hole in the top of the pipe also, you can see the tube sticking out of it in the video. This is the plumbing that came with the system already assembled.
Then I'm guessing you have one too manyI guess I am still confused. There is a hole in the top of the pipe also, you can see the tube sticking out of it in the video. This is the plumbing that came with the system already assembled.
Yours is doing the same thing mine did. My problem was the the pipe leading from the stand pipe in the overflow to the sump was too big. I switched to a smaller size and solved the problem. Basically I was using 1 1/4 pipe and screwing it to the outside of the bulkhead. I switched to 1 inch and used the inside of the bulkhead and the flushing stopped.
Darn, I was hoping you had a fix. I am already using the 1 inch inside the bulkhead. I drilled another tiny hole on top of the elbow and see if it helps like others suggested. Thanks
I tried drilling the hole in the top as well and it made it worse. From what I could tell with mine, (and i'm no expert in plumbing at all) the water was flowing too fast for the durso pipe to handle. I slowed it down... I slowed down my return pumps and made the pipe on the exit end smaller to slow down the flow. That's what fixed it for me. That probably doesn't help you much though.
It actually does help! I believe I was putting to much for the pipes to handle. I was use to running a beananimal on my 75 gallon and had the flow way up with no issue due to the full syphon. The durso doesn't seem to handle nearly as much. I seen the paper say 700gph is what the pipes could handle but I figured it could handle more due to the size of the pipes.
