QUIET skimmer

[igadget56]

I have a 210 gallon in wall tank. I'm going to set up a 75 in my living room. It MUST be very quiet. What is the quietest skimmer I can get? It's going to be underneath the tank. Not an HOB, it's going in the sump. But I don't want a cheap one. I want one that performs well. I've looked at Coralife, Eshopps and Tunze. Are any of these worth getting? Any suggestions?

I would look for something with a DC pump. They are much quieter in my experience.

My eshopps PSK-75H is very quiet, its a hang on back skimmer. The bigger sized version of it is the PSK-150H which should work for your needs. They utilize Sicce DC pumps, when primed properly it's almost silent with no vibrations.

QUIET skimmer

I have an eshopps 100 the only noise you can here is the air. Pump is silent.

Only time I can here it inside my cabinet is if everyone else is turned off.

Bubble king, Deltec are also on the quiet side. Except they're a little on the expensive side.

The Eshopps is the one I was talking about, I have the PSK-75H. Go with it, you won't be disappointed.

I know. The way I read your original post is you were looking in sump.
