Quietest powerheads?
 

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.

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

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

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:

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

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!

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

My koralia has been super silent.

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

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
