Wisper vs AC

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
''AC '' would'nt over flow if it was maintained right !! ;)

your whisper will do the same .. ;)


to even compare a whisper to an Aqua Clear is insane :grinno: .. you should be tared and feather aswell as beatin with a rubber hose behind your local police station..

not even EMPEROR/PENGUIN filter's compare....

has anyone ever put a biochem -zorb media pouch in a emperor and had it work proper? . NO

it will in an AQUA CLEAR , There customization factor take's the cake hand's down.. :D

I like the overall design, but I have had problems with mine overflowing on the floor. It has a pretty good filtering ability, but when compared to my Whisper, AC SUCKS!!! If I had to buy an AC because they quit manufacturing all other brands, then I would just to keep my fish alive. I would never prefer an AC to anyone. If they made an overflow for when maintenance gets delayed, then sure. Sometimes there just isn't enough time in the week to clean my inserts.

So with that said, then why only 2 days ago would you post this in another thread?

I seem to love my Whisper 30-60. I bought mine at Wal*Mart for $34.97 USD. It is reliable, silent, and the cartridges are cheap. I also like Aqua Clear.

Fishingaddict, the AC70 will work wonderful, you will not regret making the switch. Although they don't sell'em at Walmart

I like them, I didn't say that I prefer them. And yes, Whispers overflow, but they overflow into the tank, not on the floor. Did you hear me say anything good about an AC there? Nope. I just said good stuff about Whisper.

I Had (HAD) Used Whispers for years without any issue. My only issue with them was theywere/are LOUD AS HECK!

I Got Emperor's for free & now am using Emperors and LOVE Them!

I Will say IMHO That AC makes the best PHead out there and have had 3 running that are 8 years old each! Never a Issue! I have just got a AC30 to run my surface skimmer and they are quiet as any!

My rankings (IMHO)

1) Emperor/Penguin
1a) AC

6) Whisper (Noise alone)
 
Your Whisper shouldn't have been noisy. Maybe a user error (intake tube placed incorrectly, ect.)? Mine are silent and always have been. My grandma used them for almost 20 years and I have used them almost 6.

you just had one bad experience and without knowing the situation it was probably a defective unit. most stores you go to and hundreds of members on mfk associate Aquaclear with quality and Tetra with being avererage to below par. cant argue with the masses. i would say give it another shot and if youre not unlucky again you'll be a convert in no time.
 
im not doubting the capabilities of the ac, i have a used wisper in my possession and was considering gettin a ac if neccessary, but as of no it isnt necessary. but if i ever need to get a HOB i would definitely get an AC, based on all the recommendations.
 
That's my experience too. Filters shouldn't be noisy, unless there is something wrong.
