If you like your Red Sea you could always upgrade it to a DC. I just upgraded mine I definitely like the control ability of it now! If you run a scrubber through them like I did with my AC I couldn’t even hear it. It’s a giant silencer.

Hi there,
Looking for recommendations on the quietest, yet still powerful protein skimmers for under $500. In my research the top contenders I'm seeing are the Deltec 600i+ and the Nyos Quantum 160. I'm using these in what I consider a heavily stocked 60g Peninsula(9-10 fish with frequent feedings).
I currently have a Red Sea RSK 300, it's definitely an older model as I bought it used from my LFS. Unfortunately, it's a lot louder than I'd like to deal with. I love the features on this such as the easy cleaning cup and the tube for expelling the water is fantastic but at this point, I'm willing to sacrifice a bit of ease for the sake of noise.
Does anyone have thoughts on the Nyos or Deltec? Which is best? Is there something even better out there within $500?
Please let me k
