So I kindly ask her what she thinks needs to be quited down and she came up with quite a list already. I couldn't believe it . But it's a happy wife happy life kind of thing. I'm going to start with replacing all the bearings in my MP40s. I ordered five sets from Boca bearings. I've already done a couple of them with the help of this thread. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh...1901337&page=8
I'll probably upgrade to all quiet drive wet sides as the one I've already done that to is significantly quieter and in my opinion has a much better spread out flow pattern.
One of the things she really didn't like was the slight trickling of water sound. So I suppose I'm going to need to raise my durso standpipe up some so that the water can be another inch higher in my overflow. That should solve that problem. Another issue she had was with 4 bulb ATI light fixture fan. Of all the things that is what I can hear the easiest. So obviously I'm going to change that last for dramatic effect. |
This is exactly why my tank is in the basement!
Looking great, Pife.
Since your frag tank and display are connected, I'd say prime spots first. I'd say get the good stuff where you want it and work out from there.
Looking forward to this tank!
