Hi, I have a Red Sea 350L and my Deltec has died. What is a good recommendation for a new skimmer that is quiet and reliable? TY
 
There are many opinions on this topic and there are several good brands including Deltec. Personally, I have used Reef Octopus skimmers for over 10 years and am currently using 3 different Reef Octopus skimmers on different systems. Additionally, in an informal R2R poll Reef Octopus was selected as the best skimmer brand:

Good luck with whatever you choose!

+1 on reef octopus, I use the 150 elite, which has a quiet, adjustable dc pump.
 
Take a look at the tunze 9410 dc.
I have been running one in my 120G for 15 months.
Easiest skimmer to clean, you dont even have to turn it off.
Anti overflow.
I have not adjusted it since I turned it on 15 months ago.
I have taken it out twice to clean. Put it back in, turned it on, and it was right back to doing its job with no adjustment.
No need to turn it off when feeding or working in the tank.
Very underrated skimmer.
