i currently am using a whisper 60 air pump and it's super quiet! and their not expensive like some other brands. this would be the one you'd probably want for a 20 gal>>>Whisper Air Pump 20 - Air Pumps & Accessories - PetSmart
plus if you buy it at a petsmart store you can just bring in a copy of that page for a PRICEMATCH! cause it's probably not that cheap in the store [trust me i work at petsmart haha]

yeah i know i was very surprised when i saw it was that low! but just make sure you print out then page before you go and have them do a price match! i love that about petsmart, if they carry it they will match the price from anywhere even online!

I have to say that I am more than happy with the Whispers - And to ensure that it was really quiet I cut a piece from an old foam rubber computer mouse pad and placed it under the pump - It's as quiet as a church mouse .......wearing slippers
