Someone during the reeftour asked me why my standpipe in my overflow (90 gallon) was so quiet. This is due to my Durso pipe modification: http://www.rl180reef.com/pages/standpipe/construct-standpipe.htm">http://www.rl180reef.com/pages/standpipe/construct-standpipe.htm Works beautifully and is very quiet (got me some points with the wife |

| I have also used the Durso standpipe, and it makes a big difference. |

| Any ideas on the crashing water noise over the overflows? |

Yeah - adjust the length of your standpipe to raise the water level in the overflow (while building the Durso standpipe of course). My overflow used to have a drop of 4 inches and sounded like Niagara falls and was terribly noisy. now it is just half an inch or so and you can no longer hear it. |

| Good idea - I will have to try that. I don't have a wife to get points with, but maybe I will be able to hear my company when I get someone to come over. |
