Noise of Hurricone Cat 2 Int/Ext vs Reeflo 250

Can you tell me which one would be quieter?

Also which would be a better fit for a 225 sps tank?

Thanks alot. I think im about to order a skimmer soon for my build.

The Askoll pumps themselves on the Hurricones are dead silent, there is only a slight air pull sound coming from the silencer. The Reeflo 250 is also pretty quiet as there is a slight hum from the pumps fan and the air pull sound from the silencer. Out of the two the Hurricone will be less audible but both skimmers are pretty silent. Both skimmers will be close in performance and will work well on a 225+ gallon sps tank. Which would you prefer running an internal or external skimmer?

Thanks for the info. I really dont have a preference as far as Internal/External. External would be more work to accomodate but would free up sumps space for extra rock, fuge, etc.
