Trying to hard
I work in construction so I just brought home the big chipping hammer and blew a 4" hole through my wall for the PVC pipes and low voltage reef keeper cables and then filled with great stuff to seal the air /noise/ or bugs out......my area was solid concrete ..but you might find you have hollow cells in your concrete cynder blocks then you can just use a regular hammer to tap the block you can hear the difference to tell where the hollow area is and then hit it with the hammer to break it open its really simple and just measure the same distance on the other side to meet the holes up.....or you can take a long hammer drill bit and drill a hole through to line up your holes then chip or beat out the rest of the concrete .....I really like this setup the best the noise is almost nothing all the noise is kept in the garage and there is so much more room for expansion out there for larger sump/ refuge/ fans /q tank /frag tank /ato tank /water changing systems / calcium reactor/ect.....and also I never work with any water in my house on the wood floors all the work is done from the garage area so there are some huge advantages to this setup its the only way I will go from now on and the room I built is drywalled and insulated the doors are completely sealed and I ran a duct from my ac to keep it the same temp as the main house so while I make saltwater it always stays the same temp as the main display and being its in the same temp as the house I don't use a chiller just a fan on a temp controller via reef keeper that only turns on during the day ....
I replaced all the doors in my house so I kept 3 doors and cut them to size and made a huge double door setup on the sump side and a single door on the water change side.
This sounds like a very nice setup. I would love to see a picture if you have one.
