If you look at the pic below, notice the last elbow on each return right before the loc-line. In the inside of the curve of the elbow (the side facing the water) I drilled a tiny hole to act as a siphon break in the even of a power loss. I drilled it underneath rather than on top so that any water leaking out of the hole would just drop into the tank. Well, the return on the left is spewing big air bubbles into the tank. If I cover the hole with a finger it stops. So it seems that as water flows through and past the hole it's picking up air. The return on the other side seems fine, no air bubbles entering the tank.
What should I do? Did I drill the siphon break hole in the wrong place? I could always plug it with a dab of silicon and drill another.
