Surprised to find the included plumbing on a tank this expensive to be so noisy. How I silenced my loud Waterbox 190.5 overflow.

Excellent video!! I'm going to do the exact same thing on my WB 150.4 just to remove the "tricking" from the OF teeth. I also just noticed something else, the e-drain is a bit too close to these OF teeth letting some water "spray" up into the top of the e-drain. Your HACK will solve both problems and allow a trickle of the e-drain to not drop so far (due to the 45's) and decrease those sounds too. Well done :)
Thank you and good luck!
👏👏👏👏👌✌️
Where did you find the extenders?? If you don't mind sharing the source
These are the pieces I used: a.co/d/iITq322
May still wanna let water trickle down that emergency drain.. otherwise you will get surface scrim buildup on the overflow.. a trickle shouldn’t make too much noise. Nice work stuff like this are lessons worth sharing for people starting their build off 🫡🤝🏾
I wish my tank was silent like this! I plumbed it myself and with a slightly older mp40’s, there’s quite a bit of noise..
Is it still skimming surface good?
So far so good. No oil slick look at the surface.
Those are 40mm 45’s right?
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?
