I need a really QUIET skimmer. Some reviews for this Tunze 9410 say it is quiet and others say it can be noisy. Any feedback here? Tank (60gal reef with sump) is in living room near TV and sofa and I am looking for the quietest possible model.
I don’t even use the filter sock assembly. The water cascades quietly around the pipe and it is really easy to adjust it back and forth until you get it quiet.
This skimmer design makes all other skimmers obsolete imo.
It truly is set and forget. COMPLETELY consistent. I have the DC version. Once you choose your power level, you are done, no tinkering.
Mine pulls out half a gallon of dark skimmate a week on a 300 gallon system.
I wish I would have known about these when I first started the hobby 7 years ago instead of messing around with the typical design skimmers all those years.
