My main drain is below the level in the sump(submerged to keep a siphon), and my emerg in above to alert me with splashing noises ... like I'm ever around to hear it

Once my main flushes itself, it runs dead silent. My tank is surprisingly quiet.
I've worked on things to make it quiet with padding and such.
Anyone who's been here buying corals can tell you, and there's been dozens of peeps.

Anyway ...
Don't worry about drainage noise as long as you set up your drains properly.
We can help you work on that later.

Get your tank in place and we'll work on the other stuff later.

Sounds good brother! I was there last night and noticed a poorly repaired cracked joist about 2 from the fish tank, so I'm going to go properly sister that joist tonight and then make my beam with post. The whole room does have bridging in it but I'll feel better with extra bracing

Well got the beefing done yesterday and tank moved today. I'm still a little concerned that when you jump in front of the tank or walk really heavy I see some water movement.

Should I be concerned with the movement of tank? I don't know how much more I can beef up the basement other than pouring a Slab

I dropped off another load today and I noticed I can auctally move the stand a bit with my hands, wondering if maybe there's to much underlay under the flooring. I was debating bracing the unit to the wall

Well got a call from the inlaws this morning, were buying there house and they haven't got possession of there new one, and looks like the move didn't go well, bunch of fish floating, at this point I'm assuming one of anemone must have died. �� Guess new house new tank, blah one way to get rid of my apistia problem I suppose

Yeah and I guess the smell was so bad the father in law flushed the tank out with fresh water, so I guess no saving the coral. Guess a good time to cook the rock and get my sump figured out
