I realize that this isn't the greatest skimmer, but I got it in trade and it actually seems to be working so bear with me.
The skimmer actually seems to be working pretty well so I am not inclined to replace it right now. My question is with the pump- it uses the old styule maxijet 1200. This pump is literally louder than my overflow and mag 9.5 return pump combined. Actually the hum is probably like 4 or 5x louder. I don't know how old the pump is, I assume a few years.
Any ideas on how to make it quieter?
These pictures are after about 4 days of skimming. Bioload is not that high right now, so I am impressed it is pulling anything at all to be honest.
