I currently have a 20 gallon tank with a 20 gallon top fin filter. Everything had been running smoothly for about 5 months, and then the filter started making irritable noises. Very loud vibrations and annoying crackling type sounds. Unfortunately, I have to sleep with this due to the tank being in my room. I am very sensitive when it comes to noise while I sleep and I can't tolerate it. I need suggestions for a filter that isn't too pricey and one I can get at a petco or petsmart. The filter can't be noisy at all or I just can't do it. I was thinking the aqueon quietflow 20, but upon reading reviews it may not be the best because I've read of some overflow and also, it makes a waterfall noise and I just can't sleep to that either. For now I am forced to keep the filter off at night which I don't want to do. Tomorrow I am planning on getting a new filter, and at this point it will still be a top fin temporarily so I can at least have the filtration. Due to me still only being a teen, time, money and space don't really allow for anything fancy or high maintenance. Any suggestions?
