my aquarium is in my room... YOU ARE A SLEEP SAVER!!!! I went back to "old school" under gravel filter...... time to bust out my very expensive sump again!!!! thanks again!!!
Sir , thank you, I was thinking of taking the tank back down and just cutting my losses. I’d looked and looked everywhere online and honestly was about to give up , your video was a godsend and following your lead I fixed it. Thank you again.
Thanks for this great video! A loose cap on top didn't quite do it for me (the slurping would alternate between going quiet and starting again) but after inserting a wide rubber band between the T-fitting and the cap (creating an almost air tight seal) this worked flawlessly! No slurping at all anymore, it's all quiet. Thanks again!
Most helpful video on this subject on RUclips. I have a Herbie and I am pretty happy with it so far. Adding that bit of pvc and converting it to a Durso seems to be helpful in some situations.
Why does the endcap need to be loose fitting? Seems like if it was tight fitting it would be silent as long as you have the air hose properly adjusted.
So I have a display tank with some holes drilled into the back wall and a weir in front. I do not have an overflow box in the back. How can I design my drain setup so that it's more silent or do I have to have an overflow box in the back? Thank you for your videos.
You can make the 2 fittings inside the tank instead - run one just above the water (emergency) and one below (with a tap on the outlet so you can close it until it's full of water only, thus silent)
Great video thx! 1 question. I have a breeding rack with 6x 130l aquaria with only 1 standpipe overflow. The tanks are barebottom is it still a extra risk to put a durso on each? Cause I don't want a overflow room😂
Hi Marcus, this vid was/is a HUGE help. Is there a calculation to what litres per hour my return pump should be? I have a 216 litre tank getting set up and need some serious help! Lol Or maybe you have a FB page or something I can email pics etc for ur advice? Thanks.
Its about 80 Gallons, I am running a Maxspect Turbine duo td-9k, in single outlet mode at 100% as the return. No idea what the flow rate on that is but I am sure you could find the specs from Maxspects website.
I never realized the gurgling siphon from the aquarium sounds like a bong rip. The gurgling from my aquarium sounds like somebody just opened a storm drain that was clogged and all the water is trying to flush in. It's so gosh darn loud... 😱
Only the original models like mine don’t have an effective gate valve. All the current and new models have upgraded overflows and include gate ball valves.
yea quite a few were hiding down the weir... very sharp and easy to cut yourself on them! They have been mostly eradicated from my display by combination of manual removal and i think my 6 line wrasse or coral banded shrimp eats them, but the weir is a safe haven for them
I just bought a used set up. 165 with all the live rock 200 lb worth. Tank was covered in anemones and me being new didn’t notice rock was infested with them snails. I went all dry rock. My mistake. Thanks for the video trying to quite my returns.

Glad I could help
I dont know if your in the hobby still but your tank is absolutely stunning, visually one of the most appealing to me that I've ever seen
This worked perfectly for me. Thank you for the video!!

Hell yeah! 💪
Get a smaller cap and seal it.

Thanks for the great tip. This is something many struggle with, including myself
Glad you found it useful!
Great vid, keep them coming.
Thanks mate!
Stress at the start ....very good film.
Awesome tip - maybe I will have to use that one day ;) Thanks ;)
Glad you liked it!
lol.. good job mate and nice video 👍
Just tried this and it helped alot!
Awesome!

You know you’re keeping sun coral well when they’re spawning in your tank!
I was really suprised! Maybe its time to add more NPS to the dark parts of the tank and see how it goes!
Nice and Shiny
Your T5 look awesome. What is your T5 combination ?
hey its 2x blue plus, 2 pure atinic and 2x kessil a360x with narrow beam refectlors
Ok that’s amazing!!!
Glad you think so
NICE! Thanks!

Hey mate, is the size of your main drain 32mm? What is the size of the Tee fittings you have? Trying to find the right size from Bunnings.
You are a life saver!!!

Im probably not qualified to offer you advice on that scenario... though with that much water, I would personally want an emergency overflow drain
Will the water level rise when you put the T and the cap? Water level inside the overflow box
A little bit yes. Depends on the exact plumbing you use. But it will rise in the overflow by approx 5cm if using a similar setup to mine.

Hey thanks for watching! I have a facebook group, and you can message me directly on there. facebook.com/ReefNerdMarcus
I joined that group... I hope that you are still an active hobbyist!!!!@@ReefNerd
Can you do this with the Herbie plumbing ?
How many gal is your tank? Return pump flow rate?
Its about 80 Gallons, I am running a Maxspect Turbine duo td-9k, in single outlet mode at 100% as the return. No idea what the flow rate on that is but I am sure you could find the specs from Maxspects website.
Simpler Trick, dennoch anfällig, da sich der luftschlauch mit Salz zu setzt und dann pfeift es wie eine Turbine:)
My air hose has not become blocked with salt in over 2 years so never been a problem for me

Have you got a hole drilled in it with an air hose?
Dip them in vinegar and water mix and everything comes off in a heart bit
Yeah good tip. Citric acid and water works well too
Do you have an Instagram account?
I found you on FB but no Insta.
No, for now just the youtube channel and my facebook page facebook.com/ReefNerdMarcus/
A gate valve on the main drain would have fixed this. Can’t believe neptunian cube sell their tanks with such a crappy overflow.
Only the original models like mine don’t have an effective gate valve. All the current and new models have upgraded overflows and include gate ball valves.
One easy trick: pressure washer
It looks like there's a white thing with eyes in the weir lol
Looks like vermited snails in there !!!
