OCNcheffy Posted June 22, 2015 Share Posted June 22, 2015 I'm wanting to check this skimmer out for my Nuvo 16 as I hear it will fit in the second chamber without any issues. My only concern is the noise.. If anyone can chime in on this and let me know if it's dead silent or noisy, that would be appreciated!It's in the living room and as it stands, my tank makes zero noise. I had an Aqua C Remora on the tank but again, that was much too noisy for our liking.. I'm party blaming the spray injection method is the cause, so maybe these needle wheel skimmers will be much more quiet. Thanks Link to comment
emily97 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I have the eshopps nano and it's quiet.i also have the tunze 9001 and it's dead silent The eshopps,I had to remove the sponge on the bottom,because it kept getting dirty and making the skimmer overflow into the collection cup Link to comment
Gooburz Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I have a ESHOPPS HOB right now and I love the thing, it makes hardly any noise. You have to be right up next to it and then you can hear a faint hum of the motor but other than that it makes no sound when sitting in the room. Once I get my sump running I'll be getting one of their in sump skimmers (the ones with a cone though) Link to comment

I have no doubts it would be quieter than the Remora since it doesn't use a spray injection method. Link to comment
fishstick41 Posted June 23, 2015 Share Posted June 23, 2015 I have the Nano Skimmer right now. the only problem i had with it is you have to let it go for a couple of days before the micro bubbles will go away. after that its fine. Link to comment

OCNcheffy Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 Sorry to hear that bro, when I had it, it was so quiet idk what's the problem All good man, I sold it and made all my money back. It just had that water hissing noise that I found annoying. Probably because I'm not use to my tank making ANY noise whatsoever. Link to comment

musicsmaker Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 PSK-75H owner here. I've been totally happy with it since day one. Link to comment

I have no doubts it would be quieter than the Remora since it doesn't use a spray injection method. I have the PSK-100 HOB skimmer and I love it, took about a day to break in but once it did it's been a work horse ever since then and is very quiet, you have to get close to it to hear the hum of the motor. I'm going to be doing a sump once I get home with overflow box and I'll then upgrade to their new cone in sump skimmer. The only thing I did with it is put plumbers tape on the 2 parts that unscrew when you clean the pump just for peace of mind. Link to comment
