How did it go with the test. It looks like you did a good job.

After resealing one part of the skimmer, job is done!!
When I turn pump on, that was scary, the flow is unbelievable
, and looks to me like it is too strong compared to overflows.
Will, you were right
But now I have to figure out something, what about sea swirl`s?? I did 2 additional 1" valve`s, so maybe I could use it for 2x1' sea swirl?
Ed, if I am right you told me that you have it, how do you like it so far?

I don't have sea swirls but alot of other people here do. They are pretty cool.
If your getting to much water in the tank open a valve going into the sump.

OK, when I open valve to the skimmer, flow is much better.
How can I avoid noise from overflow? The air is going down with the water down to sump, make loud noise (gurgling flushing) inside the sump, and one of the overflows (this one with shorter line to sump), on the tank part also makes noise - water going up and down inside overflow (also gurgling flushing). Is this normal?? Or should I install valves on the overflow lines?

Install a durso standpipe in your overflow. Here’s a link for a conventional durso:

Easy to built with a couple fittings from Home Depot.
If you are limited with space, you can modify the top and put in another type of durso (that I can’t find the link to right now)…it’s a straight pipe durso. I’ll look and post if I can find it.

Filter socks made huge difference. It is still not quiet but much better.
I spoke with Will from AQ and he mentioned the same thing about slits pipes at the water level inside the sump. I will try it when I finish filling up with RO water, probably next 2 weeks
Here is a pic after 2 days

Not yet, but I already spoke with one guy about it, so any time I am ready I will take it.

Thanks a lot, I'll definitely let you know, but as soon as the tank will be filled with water stop by and take a look. You're welcome any time. I'll have some beers ready in the fridge.
