Super quiet skimmer and return pump

Thanks, that is a good idea to quiet the silencer down

Wooden air diffuser skimmer. I put the air pump in the basement & skimmer only needs a small powerhead to move water thru it. Vewy qwuiet!

I just re-read, and edited above. I meant run a piece of larger hose going into the silencer, not between the silencer and the venturi. I have a 1/2" line attached to the Silencer that is about 2 feet long, and it either goes to the CO2 scrubber in the winter, or in the summer I just tuck it behind the sump. Either way it is quieter than only using the silencer.
