Not to mention it causes a waterfall in the back chamber since it flows over the second baffle.Unfortunately yes they are loud. I had some success taking the pump out and reinstalling it. I contacted IM and they heard a recording of it and said it was normal Venturi noise. I have owned many Venturi skimmers and never had one as loud as IM’s
It’s really the vibration of the pump. It’s impossible to suction it to the bottom. I have my intake connected to a cO2 scrubber.If it’s the air being sucked into the Venturi through a tube, if you can run that outside then noise is gone and you’ll get better gas exchange, so little higher PH.
Most don’t run completely silent, airs still being drawn in.
I will give this a shot! Currently have filter floss stuffed around it. Thank youThis is a dead thread but I thought I'd add to the knowledgebase. I have this skimmer and sometimes it is really loud.
I haven't gotten to the bottom of why it gets loud sometimes but I just grab the sides and pull it up and down like a plunger for a bit. After a try or to it gets silent.
Hopefully that helps somebody.
