Quietest powerheads?

[Chowder]

In your experience with powerheads what was the quietest powerhead you have ever used? Ones that don't chatter, humm or vibrate to loud.

Thanks, Chris

I'm using a Tunze Stream 6000 and it's the quietest powerhead I've used.

Hi Chris

They are a bit expensive, however they are the quietest TUNZE. I like the variable speed models and the magnetic holders. I have 2 and a TUNZE wavebox in the 180G. I would like another one for my 125G. If you are thinking of a ProfiLux controller you can save the cost of the TUNZE controllers as the ProfiLux will control them.

I have a couple Tunze 6060s and just bought a nanostream 6045. They're all on magnet brackets and are very quiet.

Thanks Jack, Tom and Christy . I was thinking that tunze was the way to go but couldn't stomach the cost right now. Guess I will have to save up or hope to find a few decent used ones for sale.

There were a couple 6060s on here awhile ago, not sure if they're still available. Best bang for your buck (used), but they're not controllable.

[Chowder]

Yes they are on the Island and the guy won't ship. I just told Brad about them.

[christyf5]

crud, if it wasn't a 3hr round trip drive I'd go get them for ya.

[Chowder]

Thanks for the offer though.

I can't really much, but I have the Koralia 3's and I can't hear them at all. At least not outside the tank.. Perhaps my fish can hear them.. :lol:

[dsaundry]

I have got the Koralia's as well 1-4 and all are quiet....

[Chowder]

I havn't had to much luck with the Koralias. Had one that would chatter quite loud. Had to turn it off every night just to sleep.

I have a pair of 6080 Tunze on my tank plus the Tunze Wavebox and I LOVE them...very very quiet and in the end worth every single penny. They really are fantastic and I've never regretted the purchase. BIG thumbs up for Tunze for me!

[Lance]

I've got a Tunze and a Koralia running in the tank right now, and I can't hear either of them.

2 korillia 4's in my tank, cant hear them at all, and alot cheaper than the Tunzes

[michika]

My koralia has been super silent.

[SATELLITE]

Koralias for sure i have 3 different ones. 4, 3, 1, and they are great

[Captainhemo]

My Koralia's are also very quiet.. Don't forget the orginal Koralia are not officially controllable, mine do chatter a bit at startup if being used on a wavemaker.
The new line of Koralias is controllable but they are more money than the originals

i have found my vortech to be very quiet as well i just need to find a quiet skimmer pump and stop the gurgling toilet noise my overflows make
