Dabiz Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I was wondering about the drain pipe from the display tank to the sump. Should the pipe stop under the water line or should there be a waterfall into the first chamber of the sump - the pipe stops before the water line. Just wondering what most people do...

cruiZe Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Mine is a waterfall about 2 inches, and it's loud but i have egg crate and a filter pad under it to catch debris. Link to comment
chachew Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Mine goes underwater, a few inches away from my skimmer pump input. Link to comment
Matteo Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 all preference mine goes under the water so its not as loud Link to comment
chachew Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 all preference mine goes under the water so its not as loud Yea when i was first testing out my system and getting everything ready to glue together, i tested short versus long drain, in/out of the water. Further under the water i got the less noise it produced. Probably cut the noise in half for me to put it underwater.. Link to comment
Dabiz Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 Underwater is what I did but didn't know if it was "right". Thanks for the info. Link to comment
