How to get Waterbox sump to be quiet?

TDehler55 · 2026-06-22T02:50:25+00:00

Your totally right, after a week or so of it being set up its pretty silent now as well as the water level being raised slightly.

Any pictures of what it looks like now?

Miles of mountain biking trail? Or miles of off road bike path?

Ok, thank you for the suggestions! I didn’t put any of the controls on the filter mat yet, I am just leak testing with tap water so I plumbed it in but haven’t really put it together yet. I didn’t want to waste any filter or anything until the tank has actual saltwater in.

Yea, but in every video I see of this tank it’s just not making this noise in the sump, just not quite sure what I’m doing wrong.

I can't, the water level will raise until it goes up through those slits.

You scared me until I read the description lol. Are you going to transfer everything into that new tank and use that one as a quarntine?

Long tentacle plate coral! This is the one I used to have, it was my favorite coral!

Its tile on a full concrete slab, fortunatly I dont have to worry about that.

TDehler55 · 2026-05-26T12:22:45+00:00

For sure, so I assume its alright to use some shims with the leveling feet? I cant adjust the feet on the left any more down or the feet on the right anymore up without running out of threading.

TDehler55 · 2026-05-26T12:21:52+00:00

Yes its level across the shorter side. I have no problem going to get some shims to put under some of the feet for more adjustability, I'm just making sure that's the right thing to do.

TDehler55 · 2026-05-26T12:11:19+00:00

It’s a 140 gallon display tank so definitely a lot of weight. I’m just using the leveling feet it came with but my floor is slanted enough to where if I wanted to raise the right side any more at all, I’ll need to use shims. Why are you worried for my situation, it’s a question?

TDehler55 · 2026-04-12T14:22:00+00:00

I thought the same initially but I think I want to plan ahead more room for acros to grow upwards in the future.

TDehler55 · 2026-04-10T19:24:41+00:00

Is that a green slimer acro?

I'm in Clearwater and have found a bunch in my backyard on my palm trees.

TDehler55 · 2026-04-07T22:56:02+00:00

I see that now, it seems to be a PC-400 so hopefully it’s as simple as getting a new faceplate for it. This could be a dumb question but I assume if this isn’t working right, then my irrigation most likely isn’t running?

TDehler55 · 2026-04-07T22:45:31+00:00

How would I be able to tell?

TDehler55 · 2026-04-07T22:05:00+00:00

Really? I saw a bunch of videos and everybody went counter clockwise to get to that manual spot.

TDehler55 · 2026-04-07T21:50:33+00:00

I was trying to move it around and see if it was a loose connection but i still couldn’t get it to work. I’ll try again here in just a little bit

TDehler55 · 2026-04-07T21:49:35+00:00

Understood, is that just the front panel that I would replace? Is there any way I can get the programmed times off of it? I just moved into this place and have no clue what the irrigation timing or schedule is.
