180 sounds like a cofee pot

[jettster]

well I finally done it I put water in the 180 everything is fine except one of the drain hoses surges bubles and sounds like a coffee pot the filter is a megaflow 4 with mega flow overflows and a mag 18 return pump drains are flex pipe that came with the filter any ideas or sugestions

Is there a way you can vent above the tank on the overflows that quieted mine down I used a pipe cap with a hole drilled in it that broke the suction allowing it to vent

I'm guessing from your description that the drains are "flushing". That's usually either too small of an air hole or just trying to run too much through the overflows.
Also that Mag 18 is probably going to heat the water quite a bit even if you get the flow issue worked out.

NM. Already answered in the manner I was going to answer.

 

[jettster]

sounds like flushing Chris what do I do to stop it cut return pump down?

 

[fishdoc11]

Yes...or drill bigger air holes in the top of the standpipes.

 

[jettster]

the one hole is on a stem would you remove the stem and enlarge the hole or drill more smaller holes

 

[fishdoc11]

Did you make the standpipes or did they come with the tank?

 

[jettster]

came with it they are megaflow

 

[fishdoc11]

Then I would just cut the flow back.
