Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[Musovski]

I feel like I should start breakfast. Take these as an appetizer.

Ive actually been trying to lose some weight, soooo... dont mind if i do.

 

[Katrina71]

I'm curious. If there was a baffle insert in the pipe...

Y'all are killin the fat girl here.

im 100% confident you arent fat.

Me too.

Mine is bigger(not braggin') I think I'll have lower flow too unless my math is off.

Nice. Yea mine came drilled, and I didn’t want to risk drilling it again.

The timing was weird buying my tank. We didn’t know we were moving yet so I could of done quite a bit bigger. Oh well. I’m sure in a year or two I’ll be ready for another upgrade lol.

 

[Katrina71]

We gotta work on noise reduction for mine.

Kinda where I'm at. This tank was expensive new. If I drill it and...I wouldn't be able to afford to replace it.

See how it is. You will not need a huge turnover relying on the refugium. You can lower the flow if needed.

That's what I'm aiming for.

 

[Hemmdog]

lowering the flow will makes the sounds go away but in return give you less turnover.

The noise level that decreases isn’t that much even at half power oddly enough. My acros are doing good and encrusting finally so I don’t want to lower the flow to much. It’s a struggle. And my gyres... I just don’t know.. I can’t get them to blow where I want them to. I need you guys teleported here! Lol.

 

[Katrina71]

I know it won't be silent. I'm just hoping to optimize what I have to work with.

as long as there is enough flow to move the macroalgae around.

Are you using RFG too?

my tank is absolutely quiet, the only thing i hear is the air pump.

Once you get experienced running Durso, you can always find a clever way to run an outside return line if needed to convert. You will be a pro by then.

Easy enough to drop in a little hydor if I HAD to.

 

[NY_Caveman]

I run dual RFG and I love them. I boosted my return pumps to maximize them.

Aka duct tape.
