since i put the filter pads in the sump there realy isent to much noise coming from the sump. and the doors will be put on as soon as i git it all plumed the way i want it the retern pipe will be pvc and i need to add check valves to it. the olny real noise is coming from the overflow box. the overflow pipe dosent gargol or make any werd noises. and thank you for the compliment the stand was hand bilt by me. i dont think it gargols any because you can see in the one pick the overflow lets almost 6 inches of water build up in it befor it stabolizes probly preventing the air pocket to gargol. or i could be talking out my butt again lol.
