4. Make it QUIET!! – It was only after the old tank was removed from my old house that I realized how loud it was. A mag 7 in the stand running inside a 30 gallon sump and a couple of Radio Shack fans in the canopy made the overall hum very significant. To combat this noise, I planned on adding a remote sump in a room in the garage about 30 feet away.



Instead of the 30 gallon sump I had previously used, I purchased this custom built 90 gallon Inter-American pre-drilled sump from reefcrazed.



I also plan on rebuilding my canopy with more height (to allow for the additional heat from the Radium) and new MUCH quieter fans.
