Silent skimmer for Reefer 170

[Misha]

I'm looking for a skimmer for my RSR 170. That's not trying to rob me.
Currently using a Blue Marine skim 500 but it's very loud.
Here are options that I've found:
I can get a deltec 600i second hand for 50 euro.
Bubble magus C 3.5

 

[DC Reefer]

I have a 170 and I am running a Nyos Quantum 120 which is very quiet but a bit pricey. My tank is in my office next to my desk and I can't hear the skimmer at all.

If the Deltec has a DC pump you will never hear it from inside the cabinet. Dead silent

I’ve asked the seller if it has a DC pump, but no reacting. There is only 1 picture in the advertisement.

I have the exact same skimmer; almost 100% positive that is the DC pump version.

I would pick this skimmer up, I paid almost 500USD for mine.

Low strength vinegar solution should remove that precipitate/calcium deposits on the skimmer.

Thanks, I’m waiting for him to respond if it’s still available. He sells 6 lol. So hopefully not all are sold.

500USD is a lot. They go for 300euro new here
