It's just way too loud...

[Doormatt]

Well, I wouldn't call it a total victory, but it's pretty darn close!

I only have to throttle my mag 9.5 back a bit, and it doesn't really gurgle at all. I may have to change my plumbing in the future, as I think a lot of my current noise comes from the fact that after coming out the bulkhead, it does a 3ft drop, then goes into my sump. Would putting a few zig zags in there help quiet the water down?

Also, someone mentioned earlier that my mag might die a quicker death by having some back pressure on it...is this true?

Thanks again to all those to helped me. I feel MUCH less stressed now.
