Trying to see what hang on the back skimmers are quiet and work well. The one I have is super noisy and drives my wife crazy. It would need to be for 30g tank. What are people recommendations?

I really like the Reef Octopus skimmers. They make a couple different hang on back options. Otherwise Skimz also makes some good ones :) What kind do you have now?
 
Thanks!
I was looking at the Reef Octopus skimmers people seem to like them. Do you know if they are fairly quiet? I realize all skimmers are going to make some noise. I currently have a CPR Bakpak. It has been an okay skimmer, not fantastic but not bad.
 
I have the Reef Octopus Classic 90 HOB on my 55 and I love it. It is very quiet. I honestly think the wave makers make more noise then it and that’s still pretty darn quiet. Honestly I think it’s the best hob skimmer out there.
