@@iansmith2847 correct, that is what the gate valve helps with. However, if the emergency drain isn’t tall enough, it doesn’t matter how much you tighten the gate valve for this particular problem. The noise is from the water coming into the overflow box. The water in the box is too low, causing the water coming in to splash. Again, you are correct in needing to tighten the gate valve to raise the water level but because the emergency drain isn’t tall enough, in order to raise the water high enough to eliminate the noise, you would need to tighten the valve so much that the water is then completely covering the emergency drain, which you don’t want. So, the emergency drain needs to be raised.

@@MrLeoxlim awesome!

@@g-reef definitely agree. Really happy it worked out and they are getting along!

@@Greg2385F loving mine so far. Good luck!

@@nhathuynh1574 first link is the y fitting. Second is one option - flare nozzles. For a little more money, you could go with random flow nozzles - the third link www.bulkreefsupply.com/loc-line-y-fitting.html?queryID=527cb46de87457e562729ed43fb55ff5&objectID=1709&indexName=brs_prod_m2_default_products www.bulkreefsupply.com/loc-line-flare-nozzle.html?queryID=527cb46de87457e562729ed43fb55ff5&objectID=1699&indexName=brs_prod_m2_default_products www.bulkreefsupply.com/random-flow-generators-for-loc-line-vivid-creative-aquatics.html?queryID=527cb46de87457e562729ed43fb55ff5&objectID=7132&indexName=brs_prod_m2_default_products

@@Saltyrootsjax thank you 🙏

@@CorgisWineAndNails haha I was cracking myself up with that music but your right, it really is how it feels. Especially when it’s the actual WB truck and not FedEx.

@@boosterman7023 No, I have a big tub of extra rock. Used that for the new tank. Let the old rock dry out then put it into the tub.

@@francescodivincenzo5765 nope! They didn’t come back. I think chemi clean works very well. While general advice will tell you to find the cause of the cyano, I personally don’t think we know enough about it to really be able to pinpoint the real cause, so just take care of it and move on!

@@Saltyrootsjax how your No3 and Po4 level?

That’s great! Makes such a difference to have a quiet tank.

I have a Waterbox Infinia 230.6. 10k and have the same issue. It's infuriating. I agree with you completely.

Thank you and good luck!

So far so good. No oil slick look at the surface.

Saint Augustine

These are the pieces I used: a.co/d/iITq322

I had two neighbors help lift the stand, and we definitely needed all three of us. The stand has leveling feet so I spent a fair amount of time getting that perfectly level before the tank was on. Once the tank was on it was also level.

Two stuffed octopuses and two balloon animals lol. We happened to be in Orlando for another event that day. By the time we left that it was late and we needed to get back home so we just stopped very briefly so I could see it and film some of it so and our daughters were the only ones that got something!

@@Saltyrootsjax kids come first, I get it. But with money in my pocket and to be at RAP, i don’t think I could have left empty handed lol

Correct. These - a.co/d/9SNIs7m

What return pump are you using? I have same tank but peninsula the 6025 and I have been trying to quiet things down and have 3 areas creating noise 1 the return overflow weirs which after watching your video I ordered the fittings, so that will resolve that #2 the weirs in sump going from refugium to protein skimmer chamber, they water fall slightly at 600gph making a trickle noise, and 3 return pump sicce sdc 9 makes a pretty noticeable hum? Wondering if you have sump noise and what return pump are you using and how loud is it?

@@martinkester3501 I run the Maxspect Jump series on this tank. It’s turned way down but it’s virtually silent. Here is a link to them: www.maxspect.com/en/jump-series/602-mj-dc-pump.html I also use these pads under pumps, skimmers, etc and they definitely help with the humming noise: a.co/d/38C7Fsz

Is it still skimming surface ok?

You could make that work! You would just need to find a way to keep the tubing at the bottom as if it floated up, the siphon would break and no water would flow. Drilling this way and using a push connect fitting for the tube is just more reliable in my opinion.

Neptune COR15 on this

When the coral grows out it will probably look far more natural than a pile of stacked rocks.

Ideally, you are right, that would be best practice. However, as long as it is running continuously and the tubing does not come disconnected, it should be okay. I’m working with very limited space so I don’t have much of a choice. But again, if you have the option, best practice would be to have it higher up.

Thank you, I really appreciate that! By the end it was 18 of those jugs. One of these days I will either do auto water changes or something a little more efficient.

Working on it now!

Yikes! I believe my issue is probably algae. I have quite a bit of bubble algae that I’m sure is holding most of the po4 making the test read zero. Once I get that cleared up, I’ll try a new test kit brand. Thanks for the advice!

So happy I could help and hopefully save you a few bucks!

@@Saltyrootsjax yep, definitely. Like I said; I’d performed the shutdown procedure and packed it in its box ready to go in for the repair. I was even considering buying a replacement during the downtime! 👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿

My stand had a scratch on one of the door panels. They sent me a new one with practically no questions asked. Their customer service is top notch!

Thank you! Good call and I definitely did leave a fair amount of space on the back and that has helped with wires and equipment for sure. I did use the WB ATO and have noticed the evaporation rate but the bigger problem for me is size of the tank. As you can see, I have no space to the left or right of the display so no room for equipment outside of the cabinet. I may switch to a smaller/more compact ATO tank to free up more space in the cabinet.

Redsea I coming out with a 5/10gal reservoirs. They are super slim and it’s called Reefcan which you can preorder now. I think $100 for the 10gal.. imo isn’t bad for the dimension. They have slim water storage containers for off road / rv that way more than 100 bux.

Thanks, Mike! Likely mixed reef but mostly SPS.

@@Saltyrootsjax ya that’s the plan for most of us. It should be a nice tank! Looking forward to watching the progression!

Yep! Just make sure you follow the instructions closely.

@@Saltyrootsjax thanks
