How has your experience been with tuning the overflow and keeping it silent on this tank? I am wanting to get the 380.8 or the 330.7 but I hesitate to pull the trigger. I currently have a waterbox 85.3 Frag and the Red Sea 625XXL. My Red Sea is dead silent and never needs adjusting since replacing the stock diaphragm valve with a spears gate valve, however I have never been able to get my WB tank to be silent in spite of all the recommendations I've been given over the last 2 years. How do you feel about your 7' tank as far as it being a quiet system? Does the water movement from your powerbeads case the noise to increase in the overflow? BTW your tank looks great already. Thanks in advance.
I have just bought the Waterboxaquariums 275.6, which is 6ft and they don’t do a standard mesh lid for it. What lid have you used on yours.And here's what my tank is looking right now (2 weeks mark)

That's a very good question. I would say that both my 4 foot and 7 foot tanks were not easy to dial in and exactly for the reason you speak of - I can set it up so that I do not hear it at all, but when the powerheads start moving water around it would change the flow and I would hear some swooshing. The 7 footer appears to be more dialled in now and other than me having to adjust the flow once in a while (it is a new system, so the slime buildup will take some time) it has been quite quiet. Also, it would depend how large of a room you have your aquarium in.

Mine came with the mesh lid.
Nice write up. I’m currently setting up the LX 330.7. Can we get a peek at your sump?
