Aquarium Advice Addict
I gave up and ordered the aquaclear 50 for my 29 gal. tank. I was using a Whisper 40 HOB that was so noisy I couldn't sleep. No amount of cleaning and reseating the impeller would quieten it. I have been running both filters to give the aquaclear a chance to build up good bacteria. I just gave up today and moved my old filter media into the aquaclear and turned the whisper off. Awww the quiet. All I hear is the gentle flow of water. I have only had it a couple of weeks so I cannot attest to longevity but it sure is quiet. Wish I had taken everyone's advice and ordered it the first time.
