I'm looking to setup a 20g long tank on my dresser. I was wondering if this would be too noisy? I'm not quite sure. I don't want the tank to be anywhere else... If anyone has some insight please let me know.
tank in bedroom too noisy?

what constitutes as a good filter? I've had a tank a while back a 10g hex and it had a biowheel. Should I be looking at one of those? Anyone else have recommendations on a "good filter" (read quiet)
:iagree:
Also, b/c the noise from your filter, if you think it might still be a bit too loud, concider how high you fill your water level...
Either way, if the noise bothers you at first, dont worrie, you will get used to it. Any noise that you have comming from your current H.O.B. should still be very minimal. I too have a bio-wheel in my bedroom and i cant hear it.
for the absolute quietest, you could go with a bunch of internal filters. the ones that go inside of your tank.
Mine is sitting RIGHT next to my head when I sleep, I have a whisper 40 and i dont hear it at all
A Fluval 3+ would do the trick. It is fully submersable so can be 100% silent. I used one in a 23 gallon and it kept the water crystal clear. Just set it up to be 100% underwater.
