It would be great to have a BK micro skimmer that's as quiet as my DC return pump (which shows no decibels!).
Since all the red dragon pumps are are as close to silent as they get and since all Bubble King skimmers have a silencer on the air intake, my guess is they will be among the quietest skimmers you can get. Especially since these skimmer would have a very small DC style pump in them which will generate no noise and next to no resonance.
