Let's talk about skimmers

[reefbyremote]

I always thought eheim was supposed to be quiet but it is way louder. As were the swc and the euro reef. If you want you can also buy it without the pump and use the pump of your choice as it is a Venturi skimmer. No pin wheel pump needed. Just something of the proper size to push the water.

Something to think about for sure. Ya, I just moved a tank for someone, it has an eheim pump for return. Loudest pump I've heard in a while -lol
I have heard (or rather, not) eheims in setups that didn't sound like they were running.

Man, now you have me thinking return pumps and more $$! Time to call it a night!

I'm now running a Lifereef VSV-48. Best skimmer yet. Running a Waveline DC12000 on it and... Woweeeeeee! lol
But at over 48" tall, didn't think your wife would appreciate it, hahaha. Thus I didn't mention it

Dom, something that tall will outperform anything else around. If I had a sump room, I'd be using a 6' air driven skimmer.

The big bashsea skimmer I has was by far the best I've ever used. Maybe check them out. They make various sizes
