Thanks everyone. After cleaning out the hole with a pipe cleaner and rasising the water level - no noise.

I actually tried to raise the water a bit hoping that would help but it hasn't. Neither side was ever under water that I'm aware of.

My 120 used to be so nice and quiet. In the last few weeks though, my one return line has a steady stream out the bottom pee hole. The noise is really aggravating. Any thoughts?

I'm temporarily going to a 6x54w T5 setup on my 120g (48x24x24). Mostly lps, but 2 sps near top. Think I'll be ok? A good friend is custom building me an led setup but that may take 4-6 months before I get it.

I have the eheim 1260. Very quiet and very efficient.

Whoah, glad I checked first. Thanks. I went to both Lowes and HD and they only have the glue on and now that small. Guess I'll have to keep looking. Man it's frustrating to need something so basic.

I needed 2 ball valves with barb fitting for ¾”ID hose. Only thing I could find at the local plumbing supply was brass – no pvc. Would this be ok to use on a return line or would the brass lead to probs in the tank? Tank is mixed reef with mostly LPS, some SPS, inverts and of course fish. Thx

I haven't had much luck anywhere. I've been trying to sell a MH/T5 retro kit and am at the point where I'm just going to throw it in the trash.

Thanks - will look into that.

I have egg crate on top of my tank now, inside a canopy due to a few jumpers. I'd like to ditch the canopy and go with an open top - just think it looks nicer and the better air flow would help with cooling the lights. We have 2 cats - and no we aren't getting rid of them. They can jump on top...

guess it's headed towards the curb

Thanks Hawkeye. Yeah, read the sticky but it just seems really dated. I use vortech powerheads, but combining the controlling on/off of those, and wanting the ability to turn off the skimmer for 2hrs a day (just something I'm trying), has me looking for a controller.

Looking for a controller recommendation. I'm looking to be able to control 3 sets of lights, 3 powerheads and the skimmer. I've never used one, so ease of use and customer support is priority #1. Thanks.

It's your's. Sent you a PM. Thanks.

I need this gone asap, so $75 takes the whole lot.
