Hi All,
I have 2 large aquariums, both around 450 litres. Both currently have FX6s filters with a U4 internal in one and a built in juwel internal in the other.
The FX6s are just too noisy for my liking, I have tried everything, new impellers, shafts, sitting it on sound proof foam and sound proofing cupboard and wrapping pipework, but a constant humming noise can be heard in the living room and upstairs in bed as tanks are directly below.
So in all of your opinions, what would be the most quiet external. I am happy to try 2 smaller ones (if they have equivalent power output) or simply replace the FX6 with another large one. I also don't need one as powerful as the FX6
Thanks in advance
