New Landlock Reefer here!

I’m living in Colorado and I was given a Octo T60 tank this week. It came with a sump, Neptune ATO, fish, RODI unit, everything.. so I have so many questions. However, I’d like to start off with why the tank is so dang loud? I’ve read it could have too much water, or not enough water. I can’t seem to find anything online about this tank to see if I could adjust anything on the overflow? Any suggestions? I’ll attach some photos of the tank. I appreciate the safe space that reef2reef has to offer for silly questions like mine!

Welcome! The overflow is a good place to start to reduce noise. Is that FMM just resting on the sump? Looks precarious

Yes at the moment. I cannot get it to stick on the side. It keeps falling. I gotta find sticker tape! Darn thing falls and scares the heck out of me

How do I reduce the noise in the overflow?

Look into the overflow, see how far the water falls as it steps down. You could try to raise the plumbing pipes to make this gap smaller. I can attach pictures of mine if you want.

Yes please. I’m curious to see.

I never trust tape. You might want to consider drilling into the cabinet to attach a shelf or small basket.
