Just got the tank set up last night but the water is overflowing in
waves and making lots of noise (bubbling and such)
Can anyone help out here. I have a Mag 12 return teed to my
refugium and two little reactors. When I turn down the return flow
(bump up ref. flow) it seems to work but I would like the flow back to the display. I just set the tank up with the All Glass return
piping (stock) Any help would be great

Cheers,
Brian

Try turning it way down and slowly raising the return flow, if there are large air bubbles trapped in the drains this severely limits how much flow they can handle.

Those overflows I believe are rated at 600 gph. I know you have it T'd off but try lowering the flow a little more to the main tank and as well as playing with the hieght of the standpipe. Also the drain line, what diameter is it?

Try pushing the standpipe as low as you can and go from there.
