I need a quiet skimmer

[Giovanni]

I have my tank in the living room. I need a very quiet skimmer if I want to keep it in the living room. Which ones are very quiet and which ones are definatly loud?

Thanks in advance.

you can make most skimmers a muffler basiclly with some foam but their will always be noise. you could try a down draft with no needle wheel that would make most of the noise.

I run a Deltec AP600 and it is very quiet.

The Tunze Doc Com range is next to silent.

i agree needle wheels contribute to sound.

I use a Deltec APF600; I think my heaters make more noise!!
