My old filter system is so noisy so i want to change it to an other one. What is the steps? Should i leave both system in the fish tank or how to do it?

Tetra makes good products but their filters aren't one of them. I recommend the Aqueon 10. Stay away from topfin as well. FluVal, Aquaclear, Marineland, and National Geographic are the better filters.

Yes, if your tank is cycled, allow the two filters to be running together for about a week so they can colonize in the new one. Also, if possible, seed the new filter with old media from the old filter.

last question ( yes it is about 6 months old tank) after a week i have seed the new filter with old media from the old filter or now when adding the new system?
I actually did this today on my discus project tank! If you can fit all or most of the media from the old filter into the new one, you can take the old one out immediately. (that's what I did, transfering biomedia from a HOB filter to a canister filter).
