noise levels- canister vs HOB?

[abuley]

haha yay I'm so excited because I must've been dwelling on a post I just read about renas when I typed it b/c I'm actually getting an Eheim 2213 and from the above replies it sounds like the Eheims are like the quietest little things in the world. HOORAY! Thanks guys =)

oh and, just to double check, is the general consensus that the Eheim is the best way to go? Most places around me mostly carry Fluvals but after researching, I think Eheim 2213 would be best for me on my 30 gal tank...agree? Disagree? What do you think?

I run my eheim 2028 om my 30 gallon.....possible overkill but great bio filtration and great flow!!!

Canisters are going to be quieter than a HOB as far as pump noise, but water noise depend on placement. The 2215 would be better for a heavy stock.

i have a rena XP4 canister and an aquaclear 110 HOB
the XP4 is close to dead silent, the aquaclear isnt as good but its not bad
