You could try siliconing an overflow box around the hole but I think the best you're going to get is a gurgling sound. I think the only way you're going to get around this is to locate the sump (or the hole to the sump) lower then the tank.
Yeah, you're right.. thats where my problem comes from.. I didn't want to drill through my tile, so I drilled the hole in the wall as close to it as possible.

What your suggesting is what I was trying to explain... I was hoping to setup a stockman standpipe, although with a 90 at the end, like shown here:



Do you still think this won't work properly?
