In my experience, it doesn't work effectively when run 24 hours. I've had good experience with CPR skimmers and they are fairly quiet, but by no means silent. My fans make more noise.

It will get a bit quieter once the powerhead settles down but they're still pretty noisy if you run them full throttle.

Running it at night sounds like a plan,,, make sure you start with a lower flow or you might wake up with a wet carpet. They take a while to tweak but they work ok on smaller tanks.

I gave up on mine after soaking the carpet ever couple of weeks for a year.

I have an Aqua C Remora on one of my tanks in the dining room, it is so quiet my wife did not even notice that I snuck it in. It works very well and makes a slight whir. It can not overflow. The only HOB for me. Andy
