I was able to cut the Durso down and lower it using a union. I now have about a 1" drop into the overflow box. Good to go on this one.

After several hours I noticed one drop of water from one of the bulkheads in the sump so it looks like I've got to fix that one as well. The other two bulkeads leaked a bit as well and I ended up having to use two rubber washers. One inside and one outside, with a bit of silicone. I think the holes that I cut were slightly too big for the bulkeads.

I threw together a quick thermometer holder out of some scrap acrylic.



And I've been experimenting with the noise level from the water returning to the sump. I tried a straight pipe that went well under the water level with holes cut in it. I tried a T at the water level leaving half open to air. I tried just a straight pipe that barely went under the water level. I tried no pipe at all. I don't like the noise level from any of them. Of course, right now the entire sump area is open and I'm sure that the cabinetry will reduce the noise level as well but I still think it can get quieter than I have it. Next I will try an eggrcrate shelf that I can set some kind of pad on and see if that will disperse the water into the sump quieter.

Any other ideas?
