Pedro, Mavgi is the man with these skimmers. I would love to see how he has his tuned. LMK if you go there again.

I just got my BM250. i hooked up my neighbor's skimmer yesterday and all i gotta say is wow. This thing is quiet.

Really!? I find my BM200 to be a little loudest thing under my tank. The Sicce pump produces a very audible hummmmmmmmm.

I wouldn't necessarily call it loud but silent it sure is not. It's louder than my eheim 1262 if that's any gauge of noise output.

I've been running mine for 6 hours now and I've got some tea in the cup.

(I"ll edit this post later and add a pic)

my neighbor's is very quiet, but mine are very loud. I have no idea why are they making this hmm noise, but im waiting to see if it's just the brake in period. one of the pump is constantly cavatating.
