Hello All,

Just setting up my 50 gallon reef and running through everything prior to fully moving everything into tank. In planning the tank build I failed to think about the overflow and the noise it might create. Looking at my setup, is there anyway to silence this thing down some. It's not super loud but enough to be a little annoying. Also, as you can see in the pic, the return has become a protein skimmer. Will this settle down or am I missing somethign here?

Thansk so much for any help!

Well, I may have found the issue. I didn't rinse the filter sock and it seems that can cause foaming. I'll trying rinsing it out tonight
