    OK, trying to select as quiet as possible good quality Skimmer for for my 70 G to be placed in a 20 G L DIY Sump. The tank will be in the living room.

    I had a Aqua C Remora on a previous tank and that thing was pretty loud, even with muffling with a sponge. That info is just to guage my noise tollerance since noise is in the ear of the beholder.

    Right now, just based on quality of product and reputation I'm leaning on the Euro-Reef RS100, or the ASM knockoff of the same. I've seen people put mufflers on on the venturi tube to quiet the air noise, but I've also read of people saying they can hear the sedra pump vibration a whole floor away.

    I'm open to any skimmer product, and would probably consider almost any price as long as it fits in the 20 G L DIY Sump.
