Looking to buy an air pump but would like a quiet one because my tank is in my bedroom. Was wondering if I could get some recommendations from people with more years of experience in the hobby?
I don't have years but about 6 months with a tetra whisper and I can assure you it's bedroom worthy! Barely noticeable!
I've found that most airpumps get noisy from the back pressure. You need to have an extra air outlet in your gang valve or airline to release this pressure. It not only quiets down the pump but it also makes the pump last longer. Anyone hear of a hush 3 airpump? I still have one working and I'm using it still.
Hope this helps
