I set up my tank a few months ago and installed a bean animal style overflow. It has been silent to the point I couldn't even tell if my system was running out not.
During today's water change I adjusted the return pump so that there would be less flow in the main tank. I figured I'd need to adjust my overflow to the new flow rate to make it completely silent again, however after several hours of fine tuning I still haven't got it right.
I know I'm close because it'll go completely silent for a few seconds then start to gurgle for a few seconds of and on. (videos are in the links below) there are no bubbles in the main siphon, and the secondary pipe has just a trickle of water running through it.
What do I need to do to get complete silence again?
I saw another thread where someone suggested to another user to increase the flow rate, would that actually do anything? I'd prefer to keep the flow rate small.
