Durso gurgling

[nemofish2217]

I haven't had much experience with the Durso standpipes, but I made one recently for my tank. From what I can tell, it is functioning wonderfully, but I'm just curious, if you do it right, should you hear no gurgling whatsoever? I have some gurgling, it's not loud, but not silent for sure. Is there anything I can do to quiet down the gurgling? Thanks,

Just drill a whole in the top of the standpipe and run airline tubing through it into the water like AquaMore said. That should do away with any annoying gurgling.

+1, when done right they're silent. you only hear the trickle of water into your overflow box. which I like.

I'm having the same problem...how far down do you have to run the airline?

Thanks for this great tip! I just ran the airline tubing all the way down, wiggled it a little bit to go past the elbow and voila, gurgling is gone. Silence of the lambs
