yes, they are. Its a noticeable difference from the originals. I hear more noise from the skimmer and reactor now that I updated to the QD...

its just a reference noise, bubbling sounds. Its pretty quiet overall. If I have the tv on, I don't hear anything..its at 5:30AM when the house is dead quiet I hear it..

its more like a sucking noise, Im 100% sure its coming from the white air valve. I tried adding a longer hose so the air would travel a bit...but that didn't work. I mean its doing it job, it has been working with my chaeto and keeping the tank nice and clean.
I just did some cleaning today, cleaning out the skimmer; the glass and scrubbed the back. Stirred up some of the sand so it can "possibly" get skimmed. Changed out some of my floss.
And!!! I finally got around to changing my light settings from 11am-midnight (including rap up)
Since, we are dont get home till pretty late. We figured we should atleast enjoy our tank when we get home.
I really really debating on getting another pump, either the RW4 or an Mp10. A guy on Craighs got a RW4 for $40..and its tempting

How do you have your 2 pumps setup in the tank? what mode and % are you running?
Reduck
Because I can....
I have them both roughly 6 inches down. Left side about 4 inches from front, right side 4 inches from back
The left is the master, running reef crest, right, slave in anti sync.
I have them both peaking at 55% Much higher and I get sand divots..
At about dinner time, 6PM, I have them in constant speed mode at 50% for the night. Then the RC picks up at 7AM.
Setting it up like this causes a nice gyre effect from front to back, and my coral are all very happy with the motion. I don't see any real dead spots but I also don't have a ton of rockwork either.
I have the pumps set up the same way as well. I go up to 70%, pretty thin sand bed...They go up to 80% at 5 pm in nutrient mode...and come back down to 70 and slowly go to 45% tidal and then 45% constant for the night...and reset at 6 am

Yea, my sand can't do 80%. I tried. Made a mess. If I put them up about one inch I could but I'll also get a vortex on the surface...
It took me a while to figure everything out as well. I feel that the tank is doing well. Took out and got rid of my sps...not feeling it. Kept the birds nest and added another hammer to the garden (metallic green).
Now I think it is time to start looking at upgrading the tank

80 or 120? Do it. The 120 would rock! I still want the cadlights tank..just not happening quite yet..this tank is just coming into its own. It's first birthday is coming up soon...not to jinx it, but it's doing better now than ever before.
Going to try going a month without any new stock....just letting it fill in..
I'll probably wake to a cyano outbreak in the morning now....
****Just was at cadlight site. They now have a couple all in ones. Looks very very very interesting.

Yea I was bored the other night and looked at upgrading tanks again.. I wanna get a 180g euro brace rimless tank with 80 gallon sump/Fuge, more radions, etc.. But that will be a while down the road after this tank is paid for lol.
I think my Diamond Goby has performance anxiety. I can catch him out of the corner of my eye sifting the sand and cleaning up.. But as soon as I turn my head to look at him he just stops and stares at me.. As soon as I look away he goes right back to work.

Nice. You'll love the clam. They actually have personality. Mine turns like a clock. He likes to face the front door so he can see who is coming in...
Knowing you... just buy it!!!!!
Have you seen this in person? Do they pop?

I am doing my best to resist it. After measuring it out, it will fit, but not cleanly unless the Mrs does some serious LR redecorating..
I have. They are huge and very bright! They also spread pretty quickly. I had bought a frag a while ago. They spread all over the rock. Unfortunately I lost them in the rock replacement project. Tried to scrape them off but they never came back. Wish I could say the same about Kenya Tree. That thing keeps sending out arms and its everywhere..
