Shouldn't be overly loud. Just the sound of the pump and a little from the venturi line (which you can muffle)

Don't worry about it unless its in a bedroom.. JMO.

my cs6-1 (maybe it is a cs6-2 don't rember) is not loud at all really. Can't hear it at all inside the stand with the doors closed

I have an ASM similar to a euroreef, cant even hear it.

Very quiet skimmer, I have been pleased with the performance for the last 7 years.

Mine is very quiet.

My CS6-1 is pretty quiet also. The only thing that causes noise is the pump vibrating on the glass bottom to the sump. The noise isn't loud and can easily be fixed w/ some sort of pad under the pump.

Its going in a bedroom so thats why I'm worried .... I heard the sedras could be pretty loud. I am eaither going with a Deltec or a Euro-Reef but I am not sure the Deltec is worth the extra money even though I know they are super quiet.
