    What water level do you run your tank at?

    Wherever you drill it...ensure your sump has the capacity to hold the tank water drained to that point...on my systems I drilled them right below the water line...on my 90, it is so close that it sometimes sucks a little air with the spray from it...

    What could this be???

    Another noisy overflow HELP!!!

    I am not really sure i fully understand where the noise is coming from, but if it just the water inside the pipes moving...you may try getting some rubber pipe insulation from HD or Lowes...It just overlaps the pipe with like 1/2 foam tubing...may dampen the noise for you, and it isnt expensive.
