Ok I'll start by telling you what I have. 90 gallon reef ready tank. Emerald 34 trigger sump. Rodi 3500 dc pump and a standard overflow kit. 1 1/4 drain and 3/4" return. This is my first time running a saltwater tank with a sump I decided against putting and valves in my plumbing. And I had to put a 90" at the bottom of the drain into the sump even though I wanted a 45. Once it got running I found it to be very loud where the drain enters the sump I notice the water almost cavitating inside the hose at the 90 and the water in the overflow go up and down a bit. Not sure if I put a 45 where the 90 is if that would help or do I need a valve... Or to plumb into the second drain of the sump so it flows better and not backing up at the 90 any suggestions would be much appreciated. Thanks
