Eheim 2028 vs 2075 - noise level - Equipment

Amoeba1 · 10-23-2009, 12:42 PM

I am completing gear for a new tank and the two filters I have in mind are Eheim 2028 or 2075 (pro 3 600).
The priority is noise level.

Any hints?

2028 is pretty quiet. In a closed cabinet under the aquarium I could never hear mine. Wish I could say something about the pro3 but unfortunately I haven't tried that one yet.

I have a Pro III 2080 and its pretty much silent, I have it in an open stand and can't hear it at all.

Only have had my 2075 running for two weeks. It is running in an open stand sitting on the floor. I have to put my hand on it to make sure that it is running, very quiet. Only sound I ever heard is when it was touching the stand, low vibration. If I was putting inside a stand I would sit it on styrofoam to isolate the vibration.

I have a 2075 that's been up for 3 months or so, I too have to put my hand on it to tell that it's running (besides the flow in the tank)
