Skimz SM150

[keemin_sg]

I had gotten an outsump skimmer, build pretty similar to Deltec APF600. Recently hooked it up to the system and realise the air intake of the pump is rather nosiy to be placed outside tank cabinet. Anybody knows how to reduce this "hissing sound".

I had a reef octopus skimmer previously and the skimmer comes with a "silencer" connected to the air intake hose. Anybody knows where i can get this? Or any other efficient ways to reduce the noise?

Many thanks in advance.

Hey hi,

I see. My cabinet is too short for the skimmer, else will surely dump it in like you. My previous in-sump HnS-150 did not give such prob despite using same pump. Hmmmm, maybe noise drowned inside water? Anyway will give AM a buzz. Thanks!!!

you should bought the new deltec, smaller and work great... roll up a piece of filter floss around the air intake valve, that should help with the design
