What is the noisiest part in your aquarium?

I second this one, There is just a slight hum from my tank and it is probably from the 4 pumps running my 2 skimmers.

on my 40gal reef the loudest part is the skimmer for sure, its the injector thats loud (remora HOB skimmer) I tried putting foam in there but doesnt seem to help much.

as for my 35gal with sump I would say its the water rushing into the sump, next time I would do 2 or 3 smaller pipes rather than one big one..

I voted main main pump because of it's constant humming but also the overflow box which makes a slight trickling sound.

For me, running 3 x 400 mh I have 2 x 80 cfm fans cooling the fixture, although they are only 35 db, if they turn on after I get up, it is almost unbearable. I use a bubble king skimmer which I consider second noisiest in the tank, follow by the anti siphon holes on tank water return pipe. I also use a red dragon 1200g return pump. The absolute best investment I ever made, ultra quite, super performer, very happy with it.

I like the sound of running water... my water goes down pipes at an angle and makes an awesome waterfall sound. (can be a little distracting when I'm watching a movie though.)

Depends on the day. In the summer it's probably the chiller. The rest of the time it's the Mrs. busting my nuts for how much that little puddle of salty water costs.

Kidding Dear...just kidding......love you... <kisses>
