I'm sortof in the same situation as you, only w/o the wife. Do you have a T on the outside of the tank? I can't tell from your picture. I'm soon to do this, as I've heard it helps, but install a ball valve (I'm goign to spend the extra bucks and get a gate valve) at the bottom of the plumbing right before the sump. Close it partially to keep the tube about 3/4 full of water so the water doesn't form a waterfall on the way down.
Just what I've heard, project is goign to be started in about 2 weeks.

Tnx Pyro.....I have a gate vavle installed right before the sump and I have tried several different positions and whenever I tweek it I have to adjust the flow of the pump to compensate....so the only difference it makes is if I want a fast gurgling sound or a slow one.....

yup, is it adjustable.. if so put it under the water... if not then just stick a spong over it or in it... or both.. just experiment and see what works... sponges are ussually inexpensive and can be used for a variaty of things... this including one of them.. we had a tank at work like this... drove us all nuts... finnally we got an idea *me acctually* to stick a spong over and in it.. it worked... must have quited that thing by over 85%
good luck!!!
