I was almost afraid to post picks of the work in progress. I eliminated the balance line. The cavitaition, siphoning, cyclonic action and aeration all ceased at that point. I was enjoyiung the waterfalol effect in the shop...it's a great demo of the low pressure zone at the pump inlet...but as you pointed out air and water do not mix in PC cooling...
This morning I removed the balance line and fitted a short piece of tube onto a barb to allow for the air in the system to perc out. After about an hour a great deal of the air had passed and the snapping crashing and gurgling were gone.
And this is the way loops are with no restriction...if you take a D-5 and simply loop it thourgh a reservoir you are going to see so extreme turbidity. But once a "load" is placed on the dynamic it settles down appreciably.
Here is the way the rig looks installed with Sonex, no balance tube, fans on high, bled out after 5 hours.

BTW what I am compariong this too is in a vid I am uploading: a PA 120.3/ Bonnie Core IwakiRD30 set up. I had 6 Panaflo 86.5CFM fans in Push Pull on the PA120.3 and they were one source of noise. ALso the way I mounted the Iwaki generated some unpleasant noises as well. The described set up ran about 9 months 99% of the time. I only shutdown a couple of times to rework stuff on the rig. It kept my Xeons at arounf 58C underload according to real temp (68C according to COre Temp) and now my hottest core is 48C in Real Temp and my coolest core is 35C. This is with fans on low. Ambient air temp for the rad is 23.9C. That's 25C Delta for 100% load (Folding)
