I recently set up a new 83 gallons tank. The overflow is making a lot of noise from the air hole on top and splashing water sound in the sump. I think this overflow is call Herbie.
I use a sicce 3.0 as a return pump and the only way I was able to somewhere reduce the noise was to slow the return pump by releasing some of the water back into the sump/refugium.
While this help with the noise, I feel like I have redirected 75% of the return line back into the sump and the flow to the sump from the main display is not enough.
I am not good with plumbing anything so hopefully you guys can help me out with some solutions.
Should I drill another airhole on the overflow? There is one on it already. Would that allow me to have the return pump move more water without making a lot of noise?
Let say another additional airhole solve the sound on the overflow, how do I deal with water splashing sound in the sump if I incease the return pump flow?
Thanks.
