I don't know about quiet. I just trn this sucker on to leak test the system and dang that thing is loud. Some crazy whining noise. Sound like Esteban trying to make mateing noise.

You call that aquascaping? Looks like you tripped and threw those rocks in the tank. Just saying brah.. Not hating just sayin.
Silly rabbit. It's a glass tank. If I tripped and the rocks fell in the tank would break.
This is what I was trying to imitate but failed.

Tony. Don't tell me that I'm lazy. You paid Huey to build yours. Lol..... Give me your rock
Hahahah! Called him out! Tony hires every one to do his work while he sits back and snaps photos/sells stuff(for great prices of course)!

Try that Marcorock stuff to build a nice structure with your rock. Have fun!

I just changed my 1262 to one of these for more flow. I am not sure about reliability (1 yr warranty) but these pumps are so dang quiet with great flow and they are adjustable, incase you didn't know that already jk :).

Hey Bud,

When your tank is wet and circulating water. Grab a meter and check for stray voltage. There has been some concern using this Jaebo dc pumps. Alot of people have reported voltage leakage into the tank. Even though this pump is low voltage direct current, It still can harm your livestock. At least enough to make fish tweak and polyps to close. Make sure when measuring for stray voltage you put your meter in "DC MODE" A titanium ground rod might be a good idea.

Tank room is looking good Sanh. I'm actually impressed with your progress, these builds always go slower when it's not the first one.

I don't know about this, DC current is as inert as you can get. I would suspect the stray voltage is possibly coming from something else.

Also, saltwater is packed with ions. As these pass over metal (probe electrodes) electrons are exchanged. This alone is capable of producing a DC current. Try putting your multimeter in a 5 gallon bucket of NSW and swirl it around a bit. I bet you get some "stray" DC current in there :)

I like the natural old school look. When do you see a reef with Bosnia looking structures. Lol

Thanks tell me about it. Still super impressed by the overflow. Everyone that comes over thinks its glass

I think your rock scape looks fine. Probably could have used some nicer pieces but that's pretty good considering your mental disabilities.
