I have my tank in my room so I need a quiet air pump. I've been just using an old....very old.......air pump for now and it's loader that a mofo. I have to turn it off at night so I can sleep.

So for a....let's say 50 gallon tank....what's the quietest air pump out there that I can buy. I would like to buy it at Big Als too since it's cheap so hopefully they have it there too.

thanks
 
Ive had a tetratec deep water air pump that pretty quite, there hard to find now though. Whisper pumps are pretty quite to.
 
I've never bought a loud one.
 
Some of the cheaper ones aren't really loud but make a louder humm/rattle sound. I owned a few years ago that were pretty annoying.
 
don't buy a hagen - fastest to go bad and loudest i've had, the walmart generic ones aren't too quiet, my azoo is pretty quiet but is losing it's force after a year, my very old whisper is ok too, my tetratek deep water lost all it's force in a year too though it was quiet, i heard rena makes the best ones but have not been able to sample one yet
