So I just build a new tank and I noticed that I’m getting a lot of noise from the drain in the sun due to the force of gravity.
Coming from the bottom of the tank, I have two elbows which are then join with a T, down to another elbow running horizontally to meet another elbow to run the last 12-13”.
Yet the velocity of the water coming down is making a lot of noise and bubbles. I made holes on the last pvc pipe and added an acrylic U shape. But can’t seem to keep that noise level or massive bubble to a minimum.
the only difference from my last tank to this tank is that I’m using 11/4”from a 1” on my last tank.
I would thin the bigger pipe would cause less pressure.
