Quite Filter System for 20 Gallon tank

[noreast]

Hello All!

Great board you folk's have here *celebrate

I am setting up a 20 gallon freshwater tank for my daughters room and I'm trying to keep it as quite as possible. I purchased a Penguin filter and while it seems like a good filter it is somewhat noisy .

Can any recommend a quieter set-up?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Are you thinking a hob filter or a canister? The AquaClear HOB filters seem to run very quiet. If you go with a canister it would be more expensive, but also quieter.

I have several Eheim Liberty filters (hang-on back style) and they are very quiet.

Aquaclear HOB filters are very quiet as TMony mentioned. I never hear mine and use them on my 10, 14, 29, and 55 gallon tanks.
