I recently got a Red Sea max 250 65 gallon tank for free and after a few weeks of letting the live rock dry out and scrubbing it all clean, and a whole lot of time cleaning and fixing the tank itself and stand I finally got sand, the dead rock, and water into the tank to start bringing the rock back to life and cycle the tank. I knew this system was moderately noisy but I had no idea it was THIS noisy lol the hood fans are loud but the skimmer sounds like a F22 taking off! I'm definitely gonna get a new skimmer soon, any recommendations on that? for the fans I'm thinking getting quieter PC gaming fans and calling it a day, any thoughts? Also, would anybody happen to know the fan size? The tank is in my bedroom fairly close to my bed but right next to my fan I have running 24/7 so the sound is a little masked but not entirely.
