Right now I have both an Aquaclear 110 power filter and a Aqueon 55 power filter on my 55 gallon tank. I have sufficient filtration but the Aqueon 55 filter is so darn noisy. I have the tank in my bedroom and it rattles like crazy. What should I do to change my filtration set-up? I love my Aquaclear 110. It's a great filter so I want to keep that on the tank but what should I change? Is there anything I could add to my filtration set-up along with the Aquaclear 110 then also take off the Aqueon 55 filter?
 
It sounds like another Aquaclear 110 is your best bet since you like the one you currently have so much.

A Magnum 250 HOT might be a nice complement to your Aquaclear. It is pretty much only for mechanical filtration but does a great job at it. I have an old Magnum 350 and it is kind loud... I don't know how loud a 250 is.
 
The only HOB filter I use is Aquaclear.
