I bought this same skimmer as well. I think it is noisy too. I was told to bend air tube and stick it inside the compartment. This has helped somewhat although I find the actual pump inside is loud. What are thoughts about it? I find it is doing a good job but the noise just bothers me.

Default Oops

Oops, note to self, never, ever clean the pump on this skimmer again. Not only was it a painful experience (very poor design) this happened when I turned it back on





The gallon jug is holding down the lid...the bubble kept pushing it off the skimmer

The only piece of equipment that has drove me to that point so far is my prism pro skimmer...but it is still early days yet.

Ah yes, the good old Prism Pro. I've nearly thrown mine away several times. It's been down-graded to the QT, where it works quite well. (Because there isn't anything to skim in there. lol:

When i first saw it, i was very impressed by it. You are right, the design of the cup is not perfect but the bubbles are great. Hopefully, the pump wont go nuts often and you will be good with the bubbles in the tank.

Would it be as loud as an Remora Pro? How would you compared it to an Remora pro or an Deltec MCE600?

Thanks for the review!
