I set up my 20g tank and did a run though on the system with tap water to find any potential problems. All have been fixed but one, the sucking noise. The best solution I have seen is the Durso sand pipe which would be perfect except for...

I put the bulkhead in the middle of the overflow and it is too narow for the 1/2' fittings to make a Durso sand pipe. I'm thinking a short piece of flexibly tubing to make the final 90 degree turn down from the joining piece.

Basically I don't' have room for the joint and the elbow any ideas would be much appreciated.
