Hello,
I'm new here but not new to reef tanks. I'm setting up a new tank on my office and I bought the Fiji Cube 20 sump for it. This is the first sump in have ever purchased all of my other sumps I have made myself from stock tanks. The problem is the noise from the water flowing from the overflow section to the filter sock section. The water comes into the sump from the overflow( the pipes are submerged) then they flow over a baffle into the sock section. There are 2 inserts I can use here, a filter sock holder or a floss holder. I dont use socks of floss so the water just passes through and that is where it makes noise. The only way I see to quiet it down is to raise the water level so it doesnt fall so far, but then my skimmer section would be 11" deep. There has to be a better way. Any suggestions?
