Yes, you need a silencer. You can easily make one.

What you need:

- 1 small/medium sized pill bottle, empty and cleaned out
- 1 short airline tube
- Drill
- Drill bit to match the size of the airline tubing but be very tight

Instructions:

Drill 2 holes of the same size in the end of the pill bottle.
Put the short airline tube in one of the holes, and put the one coming from your protein skimmer in the other.

DONE! That is it. You can now use your protein skimmer and the air intake will be quiet. No more gurgling.

Hope the above helps,

Rick

I did this on my euroreef 135, worked perfectly .
