My protein skimmer died about a week ago:
I had a Skimz SN143:

The skimmer was poorly made, I broke several controller knobs and silencers on it.
My Sump doesn't have much space, so I needed to purchase one of the space saver Skimmers, so I called Aquacave in in Waukegan and told them my sump dimensions, and they recommended the Tunze 9410 with DC pump. I installed this skimmer in my sump and it fit perfectly, and started pulling out some of the nastiest skimmate known to man, the only issue is it makes a loud noise. It is the loudest equipment in my sump, it makes a loud screeching noise. I notice if I pinch the air hose the noise will stop for a few minutes before making the noise again.
Anyone heard of such an issue?
Thanks
Stacy
