Skimmer vent silencer

[nasdds]

I Have a loud skimmer where the water is splashing through the vent. Has anyone used a silencer like this? Seems easy enough to make. I have a reef octopus regal 200sss. Thanks!

I made one for my Reef Octopus 150-INT and it does reduce the noise of the outlet: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/nxes-red-sea-reefer-peninsula-500.847535/post-11224131

Very cool. Nice tank. What size pvc did you use. I think mine is 1.5” but I can’t be sure. Thank you.

The outlet for my skimmer is 40mm/1.25", but I think yours would be 50mm/1.5" per the Reef Octopus website: https://reefoctopus.com/product/octo-regal-protein-skimmer-s/#tab-technical-data
