Protein Skimmers - A Beginners Guide | Red Sea Reefer XL 425 Build 

Really common noise with any AC pumps.

Have you called Red Sea? They should be able to help you

Yep, all you can do is spread the message and warn others to make sure they don't make the same mistakes!

Had the same one gave it back very noisy

Yeah I'd honestly recommend a DC skimmer, you can choose whatever one, most are near silent but I pref the great white and deltec.

Sounds like you need a new skimmer :p

Thank you :D

Me too :)

If I’m honest I’m not sure... there is a lot to cover with reefing. Just taking it one week at a time 😁

Sounds like we are having the same experience then

That is a very good question and if I’m honest it’s hard to compare them because one I’ve had running for ages and the other is still relatively new to me. I try to only give a proper opinion once I’ve had time to test things for a period of time which is why this video is more about showing the features I like because it’s easy to give an honest opinion when you have something substantial to base it off of

Thank you :)

Hard to say because they are both in very different styles of cabinet, and room size as well. If I'm honest they are both about as quiet as each other

@@PrestigeReef About as loud* as each other, fixed that for ya! 😋

Shhhhh..... Me too :p

So true

Hes still going strong :P

:D

one of the quieter skimmers ive owned

Okay imagine this, you're out for a beautiful walk at an empty park nothing but trees, butterflies and a slight breeze that flows around you, but all of a sudden a gang of harley-davidsons ride by throttling and revving their engine right next to you, you can barely hear your own thoughts! that my friend is how "silent" the red sea skimmer is! 🥴

I have the same set up and mine is loud. Did you have to wait a couple days for it to break in to run quietly?

@@Bam-Bam1 hi same problem here, my 300 skimmer is waaay louder than my old one. Did it get better over time?

@@olibrayen5577 no its still loud not has changed

@@Bam-Bam1 hmmm how come half the people online say its ultra-quiet and the other say the opposite XD

@@olibrayen5577 It has a loud deep vibrating hum - no way it is quiet... I didn't realize how draining/irritating the noise was till I turned it off. Love the features but hate the drone/hum/vibration. I can lift it up and it isn't touching anything just suspended and same noise. Boy does it draw a lot of air and after broke in work great though. Does not keep ORP at 350 as advertised.

Good to hear :)

Yeah, as quiet as a volcano eruption 🤣

ts good to know everything is running the best it can

:D

lol how do you even notice these things :p
