Shoelace May 19, 2013 Author Share May 19, 2013 I will take some pix today. Perhaps post a "silent" video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brad908 May 19, 2013 Share May 19, 2013 Interested in a video. I can't hear anything at all from my glass holes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoelace May 20, 2013 Author Share May 20, 2013 I'll get a video up, I promise... It's not really as much as the overflow only that makes less noise, it's also the return into the sump. No air gets into the return line at all so there are no bubbles, no noise, no gurgling, and IMHO, best of all, less salt creep. I can't even tell that water is moving in my sump. It's so different from my prior durso's. Of course, it's only been a couple of days so I don't know how much of a pain it will be to keep Herbie fine tuned, so we shall see.

Shoelace May 29, 2013 Author Share May 29, 2013 It's been a slow process. I just transferred my zoas from my pico in to see how they fare, but I haven't really arranged them nicely yet. I'm probably going to have SPS up high and zoas down low. I need to clean up the cabinet wiring and eventually add a door. The Nano Herbie is working really well. I found out I can't use the ebay SC-65 skimmer at my low sump water level. I'm going to get a Reef Octopus BH50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoelace May 29, 2013 Author Share May 29, 2013 nice rocks. is that an ato box to the right of your stand? Yes. I will be moving it behind the wall (there is a closet on the other side of the drywall). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjamaya May 30, 2013 Share May 30, 2013 Very nice! Is that the 5G deep blue tank for you sump or did you decide to go with a different tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoelace May 30, 2013 Author Share May 30, 2013 Very nice! Is that the 5G deep blue tank for you sump or did you decide to go with a different tank? Thanks. No, it's a 12" 7.5G cube I had from a prior project. I just got my Reef Octopus BH50 and so far it really rocks! Great build quality and the pump's Venturi seems very effective. Not too loud either.

Shoelace May 31, 2013 Author Share May 31, 2013 I would be impressed too, if I had more pictures...maybe a movie of the soundless overflow? Better late than never. The first couple of shots are representative of the noise level. The last shot is right over the sump and it's exaggerating the return pump and the skimmer noise. But I think you all know what the level of a typical skimmer is so you can "calibrate" it with your own ears http://vimeo.com/67346212 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoelace June 8, 2013 Author Share June 8, 2013 I got a new camera a little while back, Olympus EPL-5 mirrorless micro-four-thirds. I'm just starting to learn how to use it. This is with the kit lens and cropping but I think I will buy a macro adapter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
