Doc Shake Posted December 1, 2004 Share Posted December 1, 2004 There is too much air in the line, add a ball valve and choke it down. Link to comment
Choson1 Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 Your overflow should ideally go into a T connector...the downwards section draining into your sump and the upwards section capped. Just drill a hole in the cap and this will allow air to go in and will eliminate the gurgling noise. Link to comment
Travis Posted December 2, 2004 Share Posted December 2, 2004 try Liquid DRANO...lol j/k don't do that Link to comment

ProFlatlander15 Posted December 3, 2004 Author Share Posted December 3, 2004 doc shake, i added a ball valve at the end of my drain pipe and it is working flawless, thanks alot. i have an external over flow and dont really want to drill my tank, so i didnt go w/ the durso or anything else like that. the ball valve worked like a charm Link to comment
