Thanks for the response, Since the white PVC has to be twisted so it's facing right due to leaking if it is not tight enough, I cannot angle the black loc-line pipe into a position where it is not splashing water onto my light and also does not create a siphon. About the drilling of a hole to stop the siphon where would I drill on about? Also where could I purchase more of the black pipe, or a split system that I have seen people use to disperse the flow of the return pump

Thanks
