So far, no it isn’t. At all.
@00W here is a video of the noise in the sump. You can see it’s coming from the waterfall in the refugium. It used to be a soft waterfall but then it increased and became untolerable (for me).
I tried removing or moving the refugium light to see if it helped and it didn’t.
I’ve read about Enkamat and want to get some but there isn’t any around here. I’ll go to the hardware store to see if they have something similar.
Ok well I love the way they made the sump to automatically tumble the cheato!
Insane idea, awesome!
Loud however. We all tolerate noise at different levels I own a restaurant so my tolerance is much higher.
Skimmer in the video is running perfectly from what I see but I also had trouble tuning it in the beginning.
I found it needed a slightly higher water depth than they said.
By now I sorta know your personality so I KNOW you read the instructions a hundred times. I'm a guy so I threw the instructions in the garbage and moved on.
It has a dual control. Both air and pump level. I got the water level where I wanted it in my sump with the skimmer running.
I turned off the skimmer.
I adjusted the air with the white knob to closed.
Turned on skimmer on the LOWEST pump setting. Slowly adjusted the air until just opened. The pump on this skimmer is more than necessary and I was running it lower in the body, not up to the neck. Make sense?
Only problem with this is you have to clean the bottom more often than normal.
From here you can adjust whatever but SLOWLY with this thing. Start as low as possible.
It is also very very touchy with any sort of man made material like filter pads socks etc so wash those well, rinse new pads well before installing.
