All right, Chap came over and helped me set up that 40L I bought from Ron. The tank's drilled for a 1.5" overflow, so that's what I built.

Now how the heck to I get rid of the noise?

The overflow that Chap went home with was easy after Ofer (FishProf) let me in on the secret of putting an airline hose down the drain hole till it quieted down. Is this as easy?
