Yeah thats what I was wondering too. Do you hear a water trickle every time the water overflows into the overflow section?

(Don't have sound on my comp at work, so not sure if the video you posted had sound lol)

Not really actually, becuase the water level in the tank is above the top of the overflow when the wave comes it just sends a little extra out, there really isn't any noise at all, plus the height of the water in the overflow box is high enough to keep it from spashing or gurgling or anything, the only noise i can hear in that tank is the hum or the pumps


also i used a tunze nano wavebox that i pulled apart to make my wavebox, its just a 6206.200 turnbell pump

Update!

ok so today was pretty good all around however I had a hickup and its set me back some cash and some time but id rather have it happen now then later. It was my own fault I wasnt quite thinking and I went to put the pluming together with the bulkhead tightened up and on the last joint of the last drain this happened






But after a long moment of staring with a blank look of derision and disappointment at my stupidity, i pulled it off the tank and and started to do something I couldnt break haha

I covered the white tube inside my wavebox with some black ORCA marine glue, I used it because that stuff is like tar it sticks to everything in one coat, i put some on my finger and began to smear it around, then i covered the white impeller of the pump too! everything is black now!








Then after I had gotten over my newly found irrational fear of plumbing and armed with me new found knowledge of tightened bulkhead is finished up my return line
