So I hooked it up. It is a 8" 1 1/2" pipe. withe 90degree fitting and 5/8" barbs on each end. I hooked it up to the outlet of the filter. the filter is going to the top and the outlet to the tank is at the bottom. Now is sounds like the pipes under my kitchen sink and is very noisy haha. Does all the ait ever come out? It has been running for 20 mins and is still super loud :(

it's the co2 building up in the reactor. Is it a water gushing sound? You could try and tip the reactor up some more if it's on an angle...
