want to know if u can sleep with an fx5 a couple of feet away.

thanks

I dont know the 2026 to compare, but my FX5 is basically silent.

its not absolutely silent nor as quiet as my ehiem 2217 but its probably quieter then any hob. its in my room you can sleep with it on.

Yeah I have to feel and listen to mines to ensure it's on
