bococ Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Hi Everyone, I'm looking to start a small tank, and wanted to place it in my bedroom. Wondering how loud these tanks are? thanks in advance for any info Link to comment
devilsadvocate Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I've got a cadlights 8g in my room. When I'm right on top of the tank I can hear the stock pump. But in bed or at my desk I can't hear anything. Link to comment
bococ Posted December 15, 2016 Author Share Posted December 15, 2016 I was going to put this on my nightstand right next to the bed. Are there options for quieter pumps? Any gurgling sounds from the overflow? thanks Link to comment
gnubbs Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I have a CadLights 4g and it is pretty darn quiet. Putting my ear right up to the tank, I can hear my MP10 and occasionally the fan on my Maxspect Celestial pendent will come on. If it weren't for the MP10, it would be pretty close to completely silent. I did replace the stock return pump with something higher flow / nicer. No noise from the overflow at all. Hopefully the 8g one would be as quiet. Link to comment

Any gurgling sounds from the overflow? thanks I dont think you will be able to hear it from your bed. the overflow is silent until the water level falls from evap. I havent looked into alternative pumps yet, but I'm sure they are out there. Link to comment
catsofat Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 they're fairly quiet. I don't know if i would call it dead silent if you're sleeping beside it though... Link to comment
