Fred,

Lowes may have fittings the HD does not if they are in your area.......

Covering the sump did help.

Lowering the overflows was the bigger deal for me along with a bigger reactor pump and the AM1000 venturi mod. directing the reactor flow to the main sump pump also was a factor.

2. Raise the water levels in the overflow boxes. The waterfall effect in here is driving the c02 right on out..........This will also reduce noise

-Not quite sure I understand how to do this. I only have about an inch if that between where the water enters in from the top and the water in the overflow that goes into the sump through a drip tray with a floss pad then bioballs then sponge then clean water goes back to aquarium

This pic is what I mean by the adjustment for MY type of overflow:



What type do you have?


Gerry.
