Plugged in a Nyos Quantum to my new tank this weekend, and the noise level is too high for my wife. (I can't blame her, it really is surprisingly loud)
Of course, she has no idea what it costs, (would probably guess 1/5 of what I gave, if not less) but has simply asked me to replace it as soon as possible. I dare not say anything :lol:
I bought this specific skimmer based on the "silent operation" hype. Needless to say I am really disappointed even though the skimmer seems to be working quite well. Still keeping my fingers crossed that it will quiet down after a few more days.
If I end up having to replace it though, I have to do it right. No more regrets; get the most silent possible right away.
In the BK range, which model would this be and what pump should I pair it with. Display tank is just over 100 gallons. Planning a sps setup with a heavy bio load (like everyone else, right?
) Sump has plenty of space and constant level for the skimmer. [Max depth is 8.5 inches]
Cannot believe I am even considering replacing a less than one week old high-end skimmer :uhoh3:
