Maze3 with 1/2inch PVC piping

with no elbows(out of case mess with everything place 'just so' to keep the tube'straight' and pressure off the block), 'BigMomma'(European Version

) heatercore with 1/2inch (inner) barbs. the reservoir is a tall(10inch x 5 diametre about 2litre I think) sweet jar with a sealed lid, there's quite abit of air in it, this would cancel out the 'closed loop' push/pull affect would'nt it?, or 'dampen' it cause the air is compressable?...

The reason I thought it was cavitation was cause it's exactly the same noise as if you pinch off the inlet(which I read was cavitation). if it was air in the system it would have worked it's way to the reservoir air pocket/trap (pump inlet is 4inch under water, in and outlet are to far apart to draw air from one to the other).

Help?
