![]() Well not quite but your right at $599US they are pricey. The only one I have is on my BK skimmer and it is certainly dead silent and I believe are very good on power consumption as well - I just don't pay attention because really it is minimal savings when you are running a bunch of Halides.

![]() Giz,
Was over on RC just now and ran across a post by Rich Durso. The name sounded familiar, so I clicked on his website icon and found something that may quiet your tank (with pics!) .... http://www.rl180reef.com/180/pages/standpipe/open.htm |

I was planning on using a Standpipe, I use one now, but it doesn't stop the noise of the water crashing into the sump ![]() ![]() I do plan on aquaboarding the whole room and sealing it afterwards as well. I have a dehumidifier and heater/ac unit for the room. Thanks for the input guys, keep it coming! Thanks beermaster, I really look forward to living in a quiet city.
