My 2cents FWIW.
Aha! There's an excellent theory!

Is the noise coming from the water falling over the overflow, or from the pipe to the sump? More water moving through the pipe = more air being sucked through with it, like scooby said. Also, do you just have a plain bulkhead, or do you have a standpipe attached? If the noise is from the water falling over, adding a standpipe will reduce the height of the fall, and therefore the noise.

Looking good Chris, can't wait to see it in person. Hope the frags settle in nicely, and grow like crazy!

I managed to get a shot of my sun coral last night wile it was fully open, It looked very cool so I thought I would share it.

I've had it for about a month now....it's kind of a pain in the butt having to target feed it every night but so far I think it's doing well.

Could any one tell me how to move this thread over to the right place? I would like to move it to the Tank Journal section.

Well you either wait for the moderators to move it now that you made that request on this page or you can msg a moderator to do it for you.

Tank is looking good! Nice job on the stand.

As for your sun coral, mine has been with me for 2 years, always growning and I only target feed it about twice per week...It obviously gets some of what I feed the rest of the tnak every day.
