    Found this on another site, thought it might be helpful for diy silencer. Works well for water splashing.[​IMG]

    I have pretty much the same skimmer. Think I'll be doing this to mine. Thanks.

    Good stuff. I always wondered if I extended the pipe below the water level if it would back up into my skimmer. I have something similar but the pipe stops just above the water line. Water noises drive me insane too!

    Water noise drives my wife insane as well. I however think it is soothing.

    I am going to be getting a reef octo soon. DO they make a lot of noise?
