Hi, I'm setting up a new 55G fish tank only (but you never know if some of my corals will jump in too) and I've been looking for a skimmer, I was looking at those DFC aquamax and want to know if anyone has a reference or another suggestion; I need something quiet since tank will be at my office and we're on constantly meetings. I need something with the pump inside of the main body.

I have the FC-80 ,FC-120,and the ConeDCQ-3 Also a Deltec 1000xi. The Aquamaxx FC skimmers are quiet and work well , best bang for the buck. The DCQ-3 replaced my Deltec and it is quieter than the Deltec But not as quiet as the FC Skimmers which are the AC versions. I am sure you will be happy with the aquamaxx no mater what way you go. If you can over size your skimmer. And bonus atm BRS has Aquamaxx on sale for 15% off

yes, I saw them on sale, I want to take advantage of that but I'm not sure if those are good enough.
 
The DFC is newer so not sure if many people have used them yet, but it looks like it has new thicker silicone feet on it which will reduce noise over the fc. Not sure about the motion dc pump though, another option is the aquamaxx q1 which is just a better constructed fc80. Most skimmers around this price point either use a cheaper dc pump or a sicce se pump variant
