Great video I’m changing my tank from. Max nano to a 170 and I’m requiring a sump skimmer. I generally use the same brand and Red Sea has always been the best not the cheapest but buy cheap buy twice. Just subscribed look forward to your vids.
Hi Ryan, sorry for a throwback comment on this but just after some advice! I have an RSK 300 but over the past few weeks/months it’s slowly got a louder hum building. Which is now affecting us in our bedroom above the tank downstairs in the kitchen. It’s not the air intake, nor any of the screws or nuts, it’s purely the droney hum from the unit itself. Any ideas? Or is this a common thing with the RSK’s?
Im also just setting up a new reefer I just got the 525xl and I got this skimmer as well. Do you know were will be the optimal level for the bubbles in the neck be?
Hi there. I just bought the 300 skimmer as a replacement for my broken skimmer. Its very loud and because its in my bedroom its quite bad..., i did tighten the nut and all the screws as far as i could but its still really loud. Do you maybe know why? Thanks a lot in advance 😁
My tank is in its 5th week of a fishless cycle and I have decided to turn on my skimmer which is the red sea rsk-300. its filling up the collection cup with water. I've set the regulator to its lowest setting and to prevent it over flowing I've opened up the drain valve. Is this the right thing to do to let it settle down and bed in or should I let the skimmer just overflow?
Don't you have a problem with the boubles , in minimum make a lot of. All skimmer have a Braking time , i hope my rs 300 regulate fast , because i don't understand what make these . THanks .
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
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 just bought this skimmer its so noisey iv tightened every thing up tight and there is no diffrence as it in my living room my wife is not to happy
@@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.
Have the 600 and very quiet no humming etc.... Dc pumps are quieter bit with respect to this psk 1000 nothing out of the ordinary sound wise..way back had some noisy ones like a reef octopus bubble blaster 3000 and 5000. Get rid of the squeegee as ruins the laminar flow you want. Just a selling gimmick.

I have the same model RSK and its a fantastic unit, you nailed the narrative in the video. Thank you, cheers mate.

I always love your videos and its good that you were honest from the beginning regarding working with them
Thank you :)
Very informative. Another reefer doing a Red Sea system setup and use.
Will be interesting to compair the use and reviews.
Thank you :D
Mine does not make noise but that’s good to know.
It did dial in pretty fast tho.
Overflowed twice and was dialed in like 6 hours

Really common noise with any AC pumps.
Good to see Pablo again
Hes still going strong :P
I love the viewing window feature
Me too :)

My Red Sea skimmer 300 is noisy. Enough to be annoying. I had to use firm airline tubing to the air intakes if the silencer to quiten

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.

How many videos are you planning to have in this series
If I’m honest I’m not sure... there is a lot to cover with reefing. Just taking it one week at a time 😁
Great that this skimmer is quiet & working to its ability. Following your build. 👍
Good to hear :)
Yeah, as quiet as a volcano eruption 🤣
Merci pour ta vidéo !!! 👍👍👍
:D

Hi, do you prefer it over your Nyos quantum skimmer?
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 know you have a Nyos on your old tank, which in your oppinion is louder at the moment?
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! 😋
That neck wiper is awesome
ts good to know everything is running the best it can
Great information
:D
I love my Red Sea skimmer
Sounds like we are having the same experience then
I've had this for about a year and all of a sudden has become very loud. I can hear the air being sucked in. Like a vacuum cleaner
When you say virtually silent can you please give a reference of how loud
one of the quieter skimmers ive owned

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!
You need some fish in that tank!
So true
I'm forever dripping water everywhere
Shhhhh..... Me too :p
do you really need a skimmer ABSOLUTELY NOT so if you have top of the line skimmer that means you do less water changes
I run a total 100% Red Sea Reefer 170. I can confirm that the Reefer 300 skimmer is very very quiet.
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
