Skimmer for EXT 100?

[Frigideus]

What would be a good skimmer to buy for the IM EXT 100?

I had been previously looking at the Reef Octopus eSsence s-130 and classic 150INT skimmers, but I saw multiple people say that both of these skimmers can be loud.

I'd really like a quiet skimmer, so what do you friendly folk recommend for this?

I see a few people run the Reef Octo 200 Elite and don't complain about noise.

Tunze 9410 dc skimmer is quiet and as set and forget as they come.
Has anti overflow, neck is attached to the cup for easy removal and cleaning.
No need to turn off when feeding.

I have ran them for the last 8 years. I run a 9430dc on my ext170, which is a real beast. I run 2 9410dc's, 1 on my ext 50 and one on my rs170.

Ultra reef is a great option. Love mine. Only sound is the whisper of air pull. Continuously pumping out junk. Whatever you get go for some kind of overflow sensor. Ask me how I know

I am using an Ultra Reef AKULA UKS-160 for my 100 EXT. The 2025 model coming out has some new features that look good.
