On that note my skimmer pump is the noisiest part of my system. Next is my return pump which couldn't be heard if the sump cabinet was closed. |

![]() 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.

![]() For me it's the air intake on my BK 180 mini.
I had that too - until I used a piece of styrofoam to float the motor so it doesn't vibrate against the bottom of the tank. And the additional advantage is that if I do hear it humming on the bottom, I know it's time to top up the ATO reservoir.
