I’m using the bm mini q in the back of my deskmate Florida. It works really well, but is really irritatingly noisy. Anyone else have this issue or a suggestion to fix it? It’s so annoying I’m thinking of taking it out even though it works so well.

Have you tried putting it on a timer? Then it could work while you are awayI’m using the bm mini q in the back of my deskmate Florida. It works really well, but is really irritatingly noisy.

I could do that, it's hooked up to my Hydros system so scheduling would be easy. Would it be fine to just run it at night? I'm used to running skimmers 24/7.Have you tried putting it on a timer? Then it could work while you are away
A lot of equipment can be run part time. Jennifer Niels from New Wave Aquaria posted this in a video. Useful for when you don’t want to drop nutrients to zero. My GFO only runs for an hour a night. BRS uses ozone for an hour as wellI could do that, it's hooked up to my Hydros system so scheduling would be easy. Would it be fine to just run it at night? I'm used to running skimmers 24/7.
Thanks! I'll try running just at night! It really is a great little skimmer.A lot of equipment can be run part time. Jennifer Niels from New Wave Aquaria posted this in a video.

Good to know. Now that I have it lower in the water it is quieter. I was considering Tunze, but the bubble magus is a fraction of the price and it works great.Mine was a little noisy, then I took it apart, didn’t really clean it, put it back together then very quiet…I have just swapped to the Bubble Magus from Tunze and the BM is silent compared to the Tunze.
Tunze is worse in every regard, apart from it sits lower so less visible but this is probably why its much noisier and less effective.Good to know. Now that I have it lower in the water it is quieter. I was considering Tunze, but the bubble magus is a fraction of the price and it works great.
