Default durso question

so I've setup a durso which seems to be handling the flow fine, no gurgling or up and downing, although the hole in the cap whistles, would it be ok to drill a slightly bigger hole to make the whistle go away or will that cause more bad than good?

YEs you can do this i had the same thing happen to mine on the 62 gal. My wife would say your tank is singing again .
So i just took off the cap from the durso and stuck a small tupperware cup in there and drilled a hole in it and worked like a charm.

Default Hole

a slightly bigger hole, or a fitting for a few inches of line, or if in doubt try:
