no it wasn't loud. I wish it would have fit cause it was a beast of a skimmer. I had it in a 20 high that only left 6-8inch between the top of the 20 to the bottom of my stand. When I get it off ide be more then willing to let anyone make sure it will fit there setup :)

my sumps about 16" high, in a 24" high cabinet but access is quite good in the cabinet... so 8" clearance, that octo is about 18" high i think...hmm... how much space do you need clearance to clean the skimmer?

I may be interested. Could you shoot me some pics of how it would mount?
I'm in Iraq, but I'm getting my tank drilled soon, and I'd like to start using my sump again.
My sump is a 100g tank with plenty of room on top.

i dont think so but, you would need a pretty good gap to tilt it not to mention its going to have water in it so it wont be light
pics coming in 5
