Hey all, it's been a while since I was actively involved in maintaining my reef. I currently have some sicce skimmer in my sump and am quite unhappy with how loud the pump is. What are the current options, both budget and a little more pricey, that I should be looking at that are quiet or even silent.

Aside from the noisy pump, is the skimmer still functioning properly? Sicce pumps are usually pretty quiet and reliable. Maybe get a new impeller and see if that fixes the noise issue? Pumps can get noisy from broken teeth on the needle wheel causing an imbalance, even if it's just a little bit.
