I have a Reefer 170 and have recently added the 300 skimmer. I assume the skimmers are made with their own tanks in mind?
The skimmer takes up an enormous amount of the sump so I’ve had to be very creative to get my reactor in there.
The problem is the noise. I have a hard floor and the unit seems to cause a ‘hum’ - it’s quite loud and is causing my wife to give me grief so serious help needed! It’s definitely the skimmer as if I unplug it the tank is almost silent.
Anyone have any ideas on how I might quieten it down? I’ve sound proofed the cabinet and also added a thin rubber under the skimmer - but neither of these actions have helped.
Any ideas Please?
