Aqua C Remora pro, is loud as HELLLL!

[JLAudio]

Im trying to shut this skimmer up, but all of the mods that I tried, completely took away its bubbling ability.

I tried a piece of paper towel under the spray nozel, its quiet but not skimming when I mod it

Any suggestions?

How long U Had It 4

My Was Loud At First But Now Is Much Quite,il Take
a couple weeks To Brake in

 

[JLAudio]

Ive been running it since friday, but it was a used one from an MR member

If it's been cleaned, and all that beautiful slime has been removed it's going to need to break in again. Is the pump or just the spray injection that's load?

I'm running an urchin pro without any mod's and it's quite just a takes a few weeks.

Maybe just through a towel over it to muffle the noise

 

[JLAudio]

the pump is fine, its the spray injection, thats producing a loud hissing sound. And yes I cleaned it with a water/viniger solution previous to using on tank

 

[NYreefNoob]

they are loud period, had one

 

[vangoghfish]

Yes, I have a pro hang on model, my took a number of months, and now if very quiet, had it about 7 months, got quiet a few months ago.

a towel under the spray nozzle? doesn't that just block the water flow? What you should try is taking a piece of plastic or laminated cardboard or somthing and placing it over the small box section where the injector is. and the putting the collection cup back in place. this will act as a muffler blocking the hissing noise from escaping

Any suggestions?

Buy a Deltec......... J/k

 

[JLAudio]

why not dace im sure you got a spare and maybe a few eheims to go with it :wink1:

 

[JLAudio]

Thanks monk im gonna try this mod out

 

[bigbris1]

Dude, I told you to do the laminated corrugated cardboard mod. Put a piece nice & flush over the spray nozzle. Will be really quiet & won't sog up like a paper towel.

Foam will resume a while later.

 

[JLAudio]

Thanks bigbris, Im gonna try this one out tonight

How did this turn out? I just got the same skimmer and man it is loud.

 

[Dj Orion]

yeah, how did this mod turn out? My remora makes me feel like i'm in the engine room of the titanic.

If it did work, can someone tell me what the mod is?

 

[JLAudio]

It worked out perfect, I covered the box over the area where the injector sprays (making all the racket). I shaped a piece of tinfoil that was folded a few times to to make it fairly thick and sturdy but making sure it didnt interfere with the spray injection but rather just muffled the sound.

I observed that it didnt mess with skimming ability and reduced noise greatly.
