![]() Bit of an old thread, just wondering if you did the gatevalve mod Greg? Did it help? I seem to get noise from the airline sucking air. The tube is clean, and I have the valve off, but its still somewhat noisy. Any thoughts?

![]() You could make the airline longer. I remember doing that on an old CPR bakpak skimmer I had and it worked like a charm. I had my euroreef hooked up to an ozonator so it has a super long line on it. I just realized that I hadn't removed it (not using ozone anymore) but no sucking sound (like I could hear it over the other various noises my tank makes anyways

![]() IMO the gate valve mod is brilliant (and ridiculously easy, hey, if I can do it anyone can. And it took like maybe 10 minutes). My euroreef used to make the worst noises, the sloshing was horrible to listen to, not to mention the salt spray and that stupid sponge was a PITA to clean all the time. The gate valve knocks down a good 95% of the noise I'd say. The other 5% is the skimmer/pump itself.
