I have a Lifereef skimmer and it is great. Had euro reef and swc 160 before that was reasonably happy with them except euro reef was loud and the swc, regardless how adjusted, always gunned up the neck. The Life reef was a big improvement on both counts. And it really pulls the organics out. It has been great.

And truth be told, I look at Lifereef's site and visual OCD kicks in and makes me leave. Worst site ever.

It's a vs2-24 in sump with a mag drive 9 pump. I don't find it noisy at all. My eheim 1262 return pump is louder.
Yes the site sucks. But how many companies in this hobby can you call and speak to the actual owner and at the same time the manufacturer? |

As for support, that's all great, but I hope to never have to speak to the owner But ya, good feature if you need it.

However, being all old school and stuff, I do think injected skimmers beat the various wheel designs.

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.

I have heard (or rather, not) eheims in setups that didn't sound like they were running.
