If you want low noise/silent running DC is IMO a great option. Have you looked into the Coral Box DC skimmers? I know not everyones choice but the D300 I ran worked fantastic when I had it. http://www.fish-street.com/coral_box...rency_code=CAD

Funny you mention this. I recently was looking at the Coral Box Cloud 9 Skimmer as it is a dc skimmer. As far as I can tell it should be able to handle 300g reasonably well and 400g light bioload. I’m wondering if this would be satisfactory or too small for a 305g decently stocked reef tank.

Has anyone heard anything or used the BUBBLE MAGUS CURVE A9 PROTEIN SKIMMER. It’s supposed to be able to handle up to 350g tanks. I have never had a bubble magus skimmer, but they seem to be reasonably priced.

You could also pick up a couple smaller skimmers like the bubble ones. Inexpensive and get the job done. I'm going to probably add another to my system eventually. Maybe maybe not. I have a curve 5 that used to be on my 90...now it's on a 180. Still takes out a lot of muck same as when it was in the smaller tank. You can buy those bubble magus for like 100 or 150 each. Skimmers are skimmers for the most part. But yea, noise can come into play. I believe these curve ones are fairly quiet.
