Having problems setting up my sump. I can not get the proper balance between out flow and inflow - I am thinking of abandoning this 15g with sump for a 20g all in one .

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.
