Hey all, I just had a Red Sea 650 leak on me. It was a gen 1 and pretty old but still horrible to have water spraying out of the bottom of the tank.
So I went out yesterday and picked up an aquarium I have eyed for a long time at the LFS. It was used by them and has been for sale for a long while. A zero edge. Significantly smaller than my 650 so today I rehomed my larger fish and my zero edge is all setup and going.
Problem is it’s very loud. I don’t know who made it but some of you smart folks will understand what’s going on and better than me, you’ll know how to fix it.
I have two pics here and hopefully they make sense.
The overflow shoots down the back drain into a little compartment the compartment has two exit points down into the sump. It’s loud, forces a kind of toilet flush motion on both of the outlets.
I’m not 100% sure if there is something that is supposed to slow the water down but I’m thinking I might need a valve to slow the water from draining maybe??
Hopefully someone on here know. I can and will head back to the LFS with questions and to check out the other similar tank they have setup. I’ve been in a mess between the two tanks and don’t want to make the trip if I don’t have to. Still not fully setup yet.
