Sucking Durso

I am setting up my new tank and cant seem to dial in my durso. The pipe's air inlet is controled by a small ball valve which I can adjust. However, I either get the "toilet bowl" effect or it runs up too high and starts flowing down my back-up safety pipe.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Do you have a picture of this? It doesn't sound like a standard Durso. If it was a standard durso, then just leave the hole for air wide open.

It was built by Envision Acrylics along with the tank. I will see if I can post something but those out there that have tanks from James will know what I am talking about.

Thanks for the post

try removing the ball valve to see what happens or tape over the hole and make a small hole and then try bigger holes until the noise subsides.
