Quietest skimmer technology? - Aquarium Advice

Maximo · 11-06-2005, 03:46 PM

I've tired both an air venturi type and currently own a spray injection type skimmer (Remora Pro). Both of them are noisy. What types are quieter?

Thanks,

all skimmers have to intake air.. if you can get a good scilencer for a venturi or needle wheel for the air intake they both are pretty siilent..

I have a Euro Reef, and it is very quiet, and even more effective.

Euro Reef = expensive Needle wheel.. mentioned above..

ASM or CCS are good alternitives to the credit card wows.. :P
