Hello guys,
slowly i am getting a little bit annoyed. I managed to silence my reef which is in the next room to my bedroom. It is complete silent in my bedroom, except my skimmer. Can hear some hum and (i think) the bubble creation.
Have a NYOS 220 for my 230 gallon mixed tank. Not sure if it is oversized anyway. NYOS 220 is for up to 540 gallons, NYOS160 would be for up to 250 gallons.
I think it ran smoother and more silent in the past, probably once after i cleaned a reassembled i have these noise problems.
Before I m buying a new one for a lot of money, i want to try everything to make it as silent as possible. Also not sure if some adjustments can help.
For example:
- Does the water level in the sump affect somehow the noise of the skimmer?
- if i unplug and replug again a skimmer, i read sometimes of a break in time to run like it should. Maybe a skimmer makes more noise until he did not break in properly?
- air adjustment screw on the silencer: how does it affect noise if it is more open or more closed ?
- oversized skimmer?
Would be thankful for some help,
best regards
