d0hb0y Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I'm going to build a sponge filter and am stuck on which air pump I should get. It's for a small tank 10G and it would be for my snail breeding tank. It would have to be quiet, the wife and kids are light sleepers and don't want to hear anything at night. I've done some online shopping and went around to a few of the stores in town and as usual i'm getting quite a bit of mixed opinions/reviews. I'd like to hear some of your opinions before I decide which one to get. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Chicklets Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Most small air pumps start out quiet, but after a while they start to wear and get noisier. Spend a little more on a quality brand and it will last longer. This is what my experience is with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crystal Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Here is a previous post about this topic. I find the Whispers noisy, I have ordered a Rena (they are supposed to be 30db) http://albertaaquatica.com/index.php?showtopic=22894&hl=quiet&st=0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
