My 75 Gallon

This tank has cost the most and taken the most time to build in all 9 years I've been in the aquarium hobby, but I think it was worth it.

The tank was given to me used and I re-sealed the whole thing, removed the trim, and euro-braced it. Built the stand and canopy with my dad. Built the sump out of my old 40-breeder tank (looks better as a sump) Finally, we installed Bridgelux LEDs last month. Been adding coral since filling in late July.

Well done.

Do your overflows make much noise?

 

Exciting!

 

Funny you should mention that; Yes, they do, and it's really annoying. Do you know how to quiet them?

 

One thing I see that may be causing some noise is the long looping drain coming from the right side. There a a bunch of places that will trap air and cause a noisy gurgling/belching noises. Also I would think that the ribbed tubing wouldn't help with noise but I'm not sure of that. I find that anythime your drain travels horizontally, you're gonna have to find a way to vent that horizontal run on the downstream side. Of course there are always exceptions, but I believe this to be true. I know it's a pain, but if it were my tank I would try and reroute the plumbing to avoid the horizontal runs, or even possibly re-plumb with hard piping. Hope this helps.

P.S. Even knowing this before hand, I just litterally finished re-plumbing my tank to quiet it down lol. Just takes time and a few tweaks to quiet it down.

 

Awesome, Thanks! I'll fix that tomorrow!

 

Gorgeous stand and great work on the reseal and euro bracing. Good looking rock work.

 

very nice tank, love the scape!

 

good job looks great
