Need Pictures of Sumps

I have been going crazy trying to make my sump quiet. I need pictures of how everyone is returning the water from the display to the sump. I get a ton of air in the return line which makes a ton of bubbles and a mess. I am getting quite frustrated. Please Help!
 
My first guess is that there is a leak in one of your connections letting in air. Do you see any salt creep around any connections?

Letting air INTO the line from the overflow is not a bad thing. I have a Y branch with an open top on the down drop from the tank above that adds air. Keeps the flow consistent and stops the sucking sounds in the overflow (Even with Durso). By the submerging the line uder water and puting inside a Nylong 150 Micron sock, its all good.
