Default Turn down the flow on an aqua c remora ?

I just installed the Aqua C Remora on my 26G Bowfront and it seams like it's going like a runaway freight train - maybe it's just the size of this thing. It is twice as big as the Hydor slim skim I had before.
It has a Maxijet 1200 pump I will look into other pumps to see what is available that maybe a bit quieter with similar flow. It sure is churning up quite a storm in the reaction chamber and it's still quieter than the Hydor, but not as quiet as I would like to see. Th main bonus is real estate.

To cut down on the noise, build one of these.

If you want a quicker fix, just fold up a piece of paper towel and place it where the lid in the above link goes. Make sure you replace the paper towel evey couple of weeks.
