Hey guys, I have plumbed a mangrove pot into my system. Its basically a plastic pot with a bulkhead for the water to flow out in the side. So basicly it goes Water from overflow to pot out bulkhead to sump, then return.

Problem is that it flushes of course. Anyone know a good way to do this? At fish stores I saw they have 45 degree elbows out of the water to set the water line. Does this prevent gurgling?

I personally fell in love with this idea when I saw it, as far as mangrove pots go.  I was going to post this a few days ago, but I couldn't find the picture
