Whoa, dude! That is a very lovely looking tank, but you really have to do something about the drain. It sounds like a mondo toilet in perpetual flush. It should be dead silent. Do some research on durso and herbie drains. You don't have to buy them, you make them yourself with common plumbing supplies.
Show us the rest of your system so we can help spot other problems. Do you have a quarantine system? I'll bet you don't. You need to quarantine all fish and corals separately for 6-8 weeks before introducing them to your tank lest you introduce a pest or pathogen that will wipe the entire tank out. Also, you've left little room for corals to grow or fish to swim. I think you will have to remove some of that rock.
For books, if you don't already have any, I suggest Mr. Saltwater Tank's books and videos. His are the most up-to-date.
