Noisy CPR (NOT GURGLING)

[tamz273]

So i took care of the gurgling by putting a copper pipe down the drain hose, it did the trick fairly well... Now Im having the CPR box sound like a waterfall wen the water pours in!!!
I tried to some sponges as I read earlier, but it didnt make that much of a difference... Any ideas or experiences?

Please remove the copper pipe immediately! It is soluble in seawater and copper ions are extremely poisonous to the inhabitants--especially invertebrates. Use something like PVC as a substitute and look into getting a metal adsorption resin, such as Seachem's Cuprisorb or Kent's Toxic Metal Sponge as soon as possible. In the meantime, I'd also run a fair amount of carbon and do a few 30% or so water changes.

As for the noise, I'd look into quieting it at the outlet in the sump, such as having the outlet slightly under water.

its completely submersed... i didnt knwo that about copper! the pipe is gone and all looks healthy though... should i still get a bag of carbon and run so many huge water changes? i didnt know that! such a shame
im running a straw from my dunkin drink earlier... thats doing the job so far... should i still doo all the mentioned above? its a 110gal tank and it was left in for about 12 hours...

Grab a copper test kit and test your water ASAP!
