How to make the overflow a bit more quiet

Sorry if I misread that... "The tank has an in-tank overflow, which is
really loud." Made me think you had a drilled tank. If you haven't then I
think the "Stockman Standpipe" is what you may want to look at.

http://www.rl180reef.com/pages/stand...n_stockman.htm is one
location... there are others. I haven't played with it, but am sure
something like it is workable.

Hmmm that looks good for a "drilled" tank.. any ideas for tanks with a
H.O.T. overflow?

Paul,

I also have a Oceanic 75. To see what I went through to shut my
overflow
up
take the link to my standpipe page. I have done recent major remodeling
of
the site to make it more barable. I hope it helps you as it did me.

I've got an Oceanic 75 system I bought used. The tank has an in-tank
overflow, which is really loud. Not in a pleasent cascading water sort
of way, but in a never-ending flushing toilet sort of way. The sump is
pretty quiet, but the process of water falling into the tube is the
problem.

I thought about putting an elbow of the intake so the water would be
more of a 'slide' in, rather than a straight fall into the tank. I
don't know if this would help.

Anyone have good tips on silencing the overflow?
