Is it really that loud? Because their external cannister is so silent! I was hoping the same for the hangons. I really need it to be silent and low in power consumption.

Thanks!

Hagen AquaClear Series. A bit pricey, but it's got quite a good amount of space for medias.

Why not try putting small canisters? Like eden or maybe eheim classic?

used to use the liberty before.. it is supposed to be silent, but sometimes when you dissemble the filter for washing, and when you did not assemble it properly back, some noise will occur..

Agree with Bro Boxedfish. Infact any mechanical device with movable parts will exhibit same condition if not properly secured.

Fluval c4? Or aquaclear by Hagen?

thanks all for your valuable comments! think i'll try eheim then

I think how good a filter is depends more on what or how you put media inside. I have no mechanical problems with the 'cheaper' HOFs from Dymax or Dolphin.I just replaced the original carbon filters with wool and cr. Serving well for many years. I am more concerned with the weight acting on the glass.

I like the water trickling sound, its very therapeutic.

i have used different size GEX HOF...so far so good...i believe the media play a more important part...

Hi bro, mind to provide their output and wattage? Agreed the water trickling sound is rather soothing, not forgetting the cool waterfall effect..
