Silent running tank?

^same i was going to sleep in my room when my friend was over and we whent in the living room from the noize .he went to sleep but there was the same kind of tank out there he didn't know.i think he hates fish :mad2:
 
Thanks for the replies guys. I think the filter in my current tank is just a cheap and nasty one then, lol. It came with the tank along with the heater and some other stuff. Most of the noise comes from it vibrating against the tank glass I think. I think it's an internal canister filter.

I have never seen any of these brands of filters you have mentioned in my local pet shop, though I have to admit I haven't really been looking at the filters. I will pay more attention next time I am there to the brands available.

Thanks everyone.
 
Thumbs up here also for the Whisper products. The internal filters are totally silent - I use them in all my tanks!

My tanks are in my bedroom, and even with all 4 of them running filters it's nice and quiet.
 
I have 2 Penguin 660R units hooked upto a RUGF system and it is dead quiet. They sit about an inch under the water. I have a small air pump to keep surface movement but cannot hear that either. I keep this tank in my room and only a few feet from my bed and I sleep like a baby. My fiancee hates any type of niose and she can't hear it so it must be quiet.
 
I also agree that the whisper line of products are totaly silent.

You'll probably need an air stone or something to move the surface though..... my whisper 10i did a great job cleaning but it didn't have enough flow to break the surface so i kept getting a film on top of the water.

I've got a penguin biowheel on there now (the small one) and it's silent too as long as the water is level with the output.


Ohhh if you do get a whisper internal, don't buy replacement filters...

Remove the old filter floss/carbon from the filter frame and cut a piece of filter material to the same size and stuff it back in, it worked 100x better then the original, soaked up alot of crap.
