Virgil, I have issues with the noise as well. It's not bad, but I sit right next to it. I really like Andrews CADLights skimmer, it's super quiet. I'm thinking of grabbing one for black friday this year, they usually go on sale.

So you have the same skimmer? What pump are you using and are you using the bio balls?

no, I have a SWC 160 that sounds like a cypress hill concert. I have a bubble blaster hy-2000s I'm wanting to retrofit it with, would you be interested in switching your pump out? I'm using the sicce psk 2500 currently.

Got my bio ballz to toss in the skimmer today (thanks Mike). Made big difference in sound and the bubbles, they are not as huge. Hopfully this help so I can get real skimmate.

Back from the dead!!!

Alright so since the move to the new temp house I had yet to tinker much with my skimmer. I have been working with Premier fish and reef doing maintenance with Will the owner and have since really fell in love with ASM skimmers. So instead of continuing this journey with the other skimmer I will start reporting with the new skimmer.

So I just tossed in the skimmer last night and have nothing new to report. However in the mean time, I have not used the other skimmer at all and am still seeing killer coral growth, color and my new nem loves my tank. So at this point I still see no need for a skimmer or have a want, other then what I see daily at maintenance accounts. And when I say that, all I really see is the gunk being pulled out.

Hopefully with this new skimmer I can give you all a more detailed report on my findings.

That is correct, it was much to big to fit in my small sump.

Now I have the ASM mini g... Fits way better in my sump.
