Well not quite but your right at $599US they are pricey. The only one I have is on my BK skimmer and it is certainly dead silent and I believe are very good on power consumption as well - I just don't pay attention because really it is minimal savings when you are running a bunch of Halides.

Giz,
Was over on RC just now and ran across a post by Rich Durso. The name sounded familiar, so I clicked on his website icon and found something that may quiet your tank (with pics!) .... http://www.rl180reef.com/180/pages/standpipe/open.htm |

I was planning on using a Standpipe, I use one now, but it doesn't stop the noise of the water crashing into the sump (I've come up with some ideas on how to quiet it down) But the main reason for a backroom is astetics(sp?) I have a ASM G3 skimmer, and all those "cool gadgets" to go with I do plan on aquaboarding the whole room and sealing it afterwards as well. I have a dehumidifier and heater/ac unit for the room. Thanks for the input guys, keep it coming! Thanks beermaster, I really look forward to living in a quiet city.
