I'm running 2-2" Durso but loud compared to a tank I heard with 2-1.5" Herbies running about twice my flow. Only noise is where the water goes over the weirs. Other plus with Herbie is no gurgling in the sump.

Herbie...100% quiet, the only time I can hear it is if the water gets low from evaporation and I can hear the water from the skimmer, thats it.

Here is a link, just scroll down, lots of info on RC too.

One suggestion that many on here will agree with....use a gate valve NOT a ball valve. Even if you have to order one from J&l/Oceans, get one, it will save you time.

Hope that helps!

Jason
