Main tank is around 39 - 40.
 
I just downloaded a decibel meter and am reading 67 average inside the cabinet and about 52 with it closed standing right in front of the tank. I’m using the SICCE Syncra “Silent” and it’s easily the loudest pump I’ve ever owned.
 
Where do you stand when taking the measurement? I just replaced my return pump today, went from 400gph to 900gph, there is a bit more noise into my shadow overflow.
Right next to it. The phone a few inches from glass

Inside is 64 for me and I run a danner mag and a fan in there with a psk 300 skimmer with dual pumps for it.
 
Got any of them green stars?

Yeah, I got a couple of them. I heard that they were a invasive pest but I just don't see it! ;Hilarious

Actually my Foxface has become addicted to any nice corals so I'm letting this one grow out Darwin style, the strongest survive! Guess which "flavor" he doesn't like.;Yuck Next tank, no rabbitfish.;Stop
 
55 db 125 I think the most noise is coming from my skimmer.
 
120g with dual Durso's. Most of the sound is from the drain in a new frag tank over my sump.

With the cabinet open and mic placed next to sump about 35-40db. I don’t have a skimmer yet.
