CPR Bak Pak IIR Power Head

[EdgeKrusher]

I have the CPR Bak Pak IIR protein Skimmer. It came with a Rio Power Head, that is really way to loud for my tastes. Does anyone know of a replacement power head that is about the same size and has a venturi attachment, one that is quiet.

Thanks

I got mine about two or three weeks ago and it was never loud. It produces a lot of microbubbles though. I don't know how big your tank is, but I hear the maxi-jet with venturia kit works a lot better than the Rio 600.

I have a 12gallon Nano in progress. It's about to come down though, cuz I'm moving. But I figured out the problem. After a while salt will creep into the muffler (the little gray dome thingy). I had to wash it out and dry it. Now it's quiet. I don't have room for a maxi jet, otherwise I would pick one up. This will work for now. I have a refugium design spinning in my head which will negate the need for the skimmer.

Thanks for replying

Peace

I'd like to see that design...
