Tpshrimper Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 All, I purchased the alita 15 for my new shrimp rack, and while it is getting the job done its just too loud for the room its in. Don't have a designated shrimp room yet so the rack is just in the family room. I also purchased it with the intention of running more tanks on the rack, but have decided to only do 7. (A 20 long, 2 17g, 4 10 gallons. What is the quietest pump i can get that will run all 7 tanks? My fiance is out of town so hoping to have the sound issue solved asap! Will just put the alita 15 in storage for now, im sure ill use it in the future! Thanks shrimpers. rwong2k 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILikeAsianBooty Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 I run a fusion 700 in my room and sleep fine. The sound is a little louder than a eheim canister filter. Beware tho, the unit is hit or miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tpshrimper Posted August 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Anyone know if there is a considerable difference between the alita 15 and the 6? Or anyone have experience with the smaller jehmco models? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyzazz Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 I have a Jehmco LPH45, and can't hear it unless I'm 3' from it. But it runs way more tanks than you are looking at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNCarpenter Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 My hygger is 3 feet from my head when i sleep. The bubbles bursting from the filters are much louder than the pump. Im running 6 jet lifters and 4 dual sponge filters currently and still bleeding off some air. I also have a fusion 500 running next to it while i wait for more threaded air valves to come in and it is louder than the hygger. Not by much but for how much less air its moving its kinda sad.Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk Attached a pic for refrence sorry for the mess its busy season in my line of work.
