I dont need a large one but will buy large if it means its quiet

only need to run 6-8 outlets in some 75s

only way I wanna know its runnin is by lookin at the bubbles in my tanks! lol

It is a sad fact of life that air pumps will vibrate. There are ways to minimize what you hear, though. Placing the pump on a thick piece of rubber will minimize the transfer of vibration to your stand.

My Rena's have always been quiet.

Air hose is cheap. You can place the pump in the stand, a closet, drawer, etc.
