Equipment Review and Discussion :: Very silent internal filter

[Drunken]

I`m in the process of setting up a 10gal tank wich i intend on using as a breeder aquarium for guppy`s etc to feed my turtles, the only problem is that my girlfriend dont want another tank in our living room, so its gotta be in the bedroom

The current filter i have is very loud (noname brand wich came with the 10gal starter kit), anyone know of any silent internal filters, or a filter that i can turn off at night without all the gunk being released back into the water ?

The tetra whisper reptofilter is rated for 20 gallons and is EXTREMELY quite-I'm using it in my 20 until I get an aquaclear 70-it comes with a cartridge and sponge..it's basically just the whisper but a gimmick for reptiles.

This is it-except mine is green and is called a reptofilter-it's the same exact thing except this might be for ten gallons..

I don't know why you would want to turn it off..if it is because of the noise well I assure you won't hear any noise.

Although I don't care for internal filters, the Fluval 2+ and 4+ both were very quiet when I used them. Most internal filters I've seen are, though, as long as they're under water. What kind of internal filter came with the kit you bought?

[Drunken]

yeah, its becouse of the noise i want to turn it off...

the filter looks great, but it looks like its not sold here in Denmark...

Fluval, eheim, aquaclear are the leading brands here

Maybe you can take a look at in the store...Tetra is one of the leading brands with fish so I'de expect them to have that filter...if not you could try the fluval 2+ that Marisa suggested though the tetra is very easy to use....

Looks like this one Trixie Aqua Pro, M700 (http://www.avifauna.dk/product_info.php ... ts_id=5398)



only tetra filter i can find, and this shop is from Norway.

The rena filstar XP's are perfectly quiet unless you set the output tube above the water level to create a waterfall effect.

[adam85491]

Well yeah those filters are great but I think that he is looking for a little cheap filter to do the job in a tank for breeding guppies...

in that case something like a whisper 20 would be good.
