The water level height is regulated by the drain plumbing. Water enters the weir, there are 2 drains, one low (main drain) and the other high (emergency drain). Water enters the weir from both the lower and upper vents. There is a glass channel behind the the vents to direct water to the top of the weir. The water enters the weir and fills it and drains into the lower main drain. You can then use the gate valve underneath to adjust the flow rate and raise the water level. This will stop it from sucking air down the pipe and eliminate noise. We tune them so that just a tiny trickle of water enters the emergency drain. The level of the water in the main display will be the equivalent height of the level in the weir. Hope that helps.
@@cadeaquariums I feel like this should be in a written manual some where. Where can I find documentation on this tank? I ordered one, and it'll be delivered in the next week or two, and I'd like to read up on it. A video is a find supplement, but I shouldn't have to go find a RUclips comment on some video to find the information you posted in your comment.
@@elliotbc Hi mate, have you seen the international website, www.cadeaquariums.com It covers everything you'll need to know about the system and more. We don't make a paper type operating or instructions manual as it's a bit old school and prefer a more sustainable approach. But the main reason we have not gone to the trouble is because our systems were always designed for professional reef aquarists who purchased these with experience on how these sorts of systems work. In more recent times the word has got out amongst the larger aquarist community and we're now getting more and more aquarists deciding to spend once and order a CADE as their first reef tank. It's truely mind blowing. In light of this we might need to start think about working on additional info as you've suggested. Thanks for choosing CADE mate.
@@rippleaqua Yes, but I am still old school ... much prefer to have the option to print a manual and so have specific page open to be able to read in depth. Far better than watching, pausing, rewinding, rewatching etc.

Instructional videos are one thing that sets CADE above the rest
How high should the water level be? Seems you don't go above the top vent as that'd be then filling into the overflow at that point too?

@@jamesmurray8770 that is pretty stupid comment. Now go back to your goldfish bowl
Video is great but not really sufficient when computer is in one room and tank in another. Are there any printable instructions available please ?
Don't you have a phone?

Just hope nothing goes wrong because they will not help at all and these are thousands
please explain
