Can you explain your setup some more. Im a bit confused. Did you have a sump on the 45? When you say it never used to be that loud did you have the same overflow in the 45 or is the overflow new like the 72 is?

What pump are you using to supply the tank from the sump. Can you describe your overflow more? Is it a reef ready tank or a hang on overflow?
