This is the new skimmer I bought today for 20 euro. This air pump is super quiet compare to most I have bought and was another 20 euro. The third pic is of how much skimmate I got after half and hour. Not sure if you can order these in the states but it's pretty small and easy to fit in the back of the tank. Just thought it might be a alternative to some other small skimmers out there. with the collection cup it's about 8" tall, the riser tube is around 1.5" in diameter and the diameter of the cup is 3.25" http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/500/81009skim3.JPG http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/500/81009skim-med.JPG http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/500/81009skim2.JPG http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/500/81009skim4.JPG

Looks like it's skimmin real good. Is that air pump quiet enough to be in a bedroom? Is it on your 15G?

to me I think it is very quiet, and I think you could have it in the bedroom no problem. This is on my 15G which has never had a skimmer before. It's getting a nice dry foam (about 3 or 4 hours running now) with debris in it and getting darker in color.
