Default PVC overflow

so i finally got my stand sorta finished (looks terrible functions well). and got my sump installed and my pvc overlfow done. now im having gurgling. i relieze its from the water dropping and air and splashing i look it up and either
1. i choke the drain line with the valve...but i want the drain line to be able to carry more water the can be pumped in so that way if its raising .5 mm every day 3 weeks down the road it wont overflow.

2. smoother transition to the last fall. instead of a 90, 2 - 45. space is limiting as its only a 20g and i'm drilled through the top of the stand.

i have some other ideas that might fix it that ive kinda read.

when it drops down through the stand, it goes straight down till water is released below water level. reasoning is because i dont want splashing to avoid mold mildew rotting inside the stand.

adding a cap with a hole drilled intop where the air inlet is.

any other ideas are great welcomed and appreaciated.

i can add pictures maybe if i can figure it out as itll be first picture posting.
