My tank is really really loud, sometimes it wakes me up at night, and I am not even in the same room! It is driving the parents nuts, and i have to say me too! I have tried a lot to quiet it down, but i cant figure out what is wrong. I dont think it is the overflow box, it sounds more like it is the water inside the pvc piping going down into the sump. You can hear it trickling through the pvc pipe, so i am guessing that is it. Is there a way to quiet it down? I have a 220g tank with two overflows each can handle 1200 gph. I do have a bubble diffuser in the sump below the tank, the sump is probably around a thirty gallon tote. The PVC pipe going into the bubble diffuser looks like it is below the water level, could this possibly create pressure into the pvc pipe and create it to make that noise? I am fairly new to the hobby so any help would be greatly appreciated.
