Hi,again
As far as i read articles and reviews i cannot find witch skimmer to get
My candidates are
1 TUNZE NANO SKIMMER 9002
2 KENT MARINE NANO PROTEIN SKIMMER K553
3 Hydor Nano Slim Skim

My main concern is that the skimmer works and silence since i don't live alone

What size tank is it going on and how heavily is it stocked?

It is a 120 lt juwel aquarium that is going to have some LPS and five to six small fishes (damsel,ocellaris,royal gramma and a pigmy angel)

The tunze's are supposed to pretty decent in that size range. As far as quiet, you will want to make a silencer for the airline. You can make it with a pill bottle and some cotton.

I can't speak for the other two skimmers since I have not used them, but the Tunze skimmer is very quiet. It doesn't make as much skimate as other skimmers I've used but it was certainly up to handling the 30 gallon tank I had it on. Probably the quietest skimmer I've owned.
