Loud Skimmer

A film cannister works pretty well. Just drill a hole in the bottom and fill it up with cotton floss (or poly floss if you've got some). Leave the top open, and change the floss from time to time to get rid of the damp and salty stuff.

Thanks everyone for your replies. Well heres what I did. Used a tylenol canister drilled two holes in the lid. Put the two fitting in filled it with filter floss. It is quieter but not as quiet as I would like. So I will play with it a little more.



Thanks Chris

Has it always been loud?

Found with mine the bubbles slow every few months (assuming salt creep) so I'll let it suck some fresh water through the airline hose to clear. Wondering if similar causing yours to be noisy?
