I never worried about balance when I as setting up my sump on my display. It drains wide open. It is noisy, though.

Thanks for the reply, I guess a little noise wont hurt !

This sounds dumb but works.
Thread some fishing line from the top of your sump inlet all the way down to sump. even if its open full flow. it will soften the noise. not a cure, but helps.

Regular monofilament, fly line, or something else?

Monofilament is what I had heard before. I've never tried it but others have and it apparently works.

Have had zero time for anything but work this past few day's, today is day 13 in a row of work and I am scheduled to work again tomorrow . Hopefully on Monday I can get into a glass shop for my over flow and sump baffles.

Got a day off yesterday, yah ! Went to Rona spent a $12 on some 2x3's and I had some 1x4 pine laying around and quickly put together a stand . flow testing the setup tonight .

I still need to get a 10g tank to use as a sump the 5g is too small I also want to pick up a float switch to turn off the return pump and i need to get to the glass shop and have my over flow cut for the tank !
