LOL Dan.
The surging noise is something else Mark. Now thats enough to make one go back to sumpless.  Guess I figured the air hole w/controller was large enough but apparently only for fresh water.

once tuned there should be no more surging. now the gurgling into the sump no way around that with a Durso (or Stockman or Hofer as all draw air). Truly silent, need to go to the Herbie (no air, no noise)

Not bad in the sump. I have it below the water level, in a filter sock. Can hear it but fairly quiet, and when the skimmers running cant hear it at all.
Now thats a problem in itself. Going to build an air silencer soon and if that does not work going to buy a new one thats silent.

Its just the large model Coralife skimmer. Skims well, esp. for my small tank but pump vibrates and hums noticeable. Perhaps once I silence the air intake it may be better. The price was right, {a trade} and I was the skimmers original owner, so figured I would give it a try.
Hmm. A nice quiet BK mini may do the trick.
