I have a corner overflow in the saltwater tank I am setting up. I finally got the plumbing and all worked out. The return pump is a little noisier than I would have liked so I am sure a new one is in the not-too-distant future.
The biggest issue is the noise from the overflow. My tank is 33 inches tall, so the water falls a long way. There is only 1 drain pipe and it has a 1 inch PVC pipe standing on the outflow with slits cut every inch or so. There is a round sponge on the pipe that sits at the bottom (Not sure what that is for).
What can I do to reduce the splashing noise so the wife won't fuss?
