[QUOTE="mvbrandt, post: 8465901, member: 150888"] Hey brother, When I was filling mine and getting the Weir tuned in, a couple things happened. The first is I got the bubbling noise for quite some time. Some of this was because I have two opposed ReefWave 45's as my primary flow drivers, and they caused a lot of surface movement, which occasionally kicks it over. The other is that I eventually "gave up" on getting the Weir perfect, left it so it was just barely hitting the emergency overlow every now and then, and shrugged sadly. Within a day, it was dead silent ... I'm not sure "why" it adjusted, but it did. So, I would get as close as humanly possible leaning toward the emergency overflow, then let it ride for a bit. I don't know how your return pumps work, but I'm using the recommended Vectra L2, and I found I was also able to "Fine tune" the Weir by ticking down the % on the app by 1% at a time once I had the emergency overflow just slightly happening. Finally, keep in mind there's a lag on your adjustments (you may have figured this out already). It can take even a few minutes for the water level to adjust to even minor tweaks in the Weir, so you need to give the tank time in between adjustments to see the outcome of those adjustments. It's funny, I used a shoal of 6 BG RCs to start off my tank as well, and I ran Nitrobacter7 every day for a week plus a few other things, plus a big ole refugium starter from AB. I gotta get my thread up and running, as the tank's been about 2 months ago now, but I'm glad to hear you got the gap squared away, and am excited to see it continue to progress. [/QUOTE]
