So i got the new solana tank from current-usa. I love the tank but the skimmer is annoyingly loud. Is anyone else having this problem? I got this tank for our bedroom so for now i have the skimmer unplugged. Is there something better i can switch to? This is my first nano tank im ust to sumps and large skimmers. So whats out there that i can replace this thing with?

I have a Tunze 9002 nano skimmer. I can only vouch for this one because it's all I've ever used. It is quiet and relatively efficient.

I agree TX, I too think it's a little loud, but I am told that once it breaks in, the noise gets reduced greatly. So far I have had mine on for 2 days and I still don't have any buildup, with a lot of micro bubbles. I am going to run it for about 2 weeks with live rock and live sand. I'll let you know what I come up with
