New tank is L O U D

[danny]

OK....


I'm taking a deep breath here as I write this out. I just got a new-to-me 75 gallon oceanic tank. It has the overflow built into the tank in the back on the left side. Looking down into the overflow I have a long plastic tube that has holes all over it and also has a small black filter on its base. It seems no matter what I do, it is always so FREAKIN' loud. I mean, no matter what you stick down there, it still stays loud.

I will think of something new and try it out then go sit down on the couch thinking I've reached success and then......someone flushes what sounds like the fishtank toilet and here comes the headache. Surely someone here can help ease my frustration with this by pointing me in the right direction. I don't currently have a canopy but I'm working on that....

This probably doesn't count as an "emergency" but me bashing my head into the wall a few times due to the noise will probably create one.

TIA
