I was looking a www.bigalsonline.com and I found a canister filter tha wasn't too expensive, but is the Penn Plax Cascade 500 Canister Filter quiet. Because the tank is in my room and I can't sleep with the filter I have right now, so I have to unplug it. Just wondering if they are quiet ebnough for a bedroom:P lame topic but I am sure I will get some good replies soon:p

it's the way to go, it will do just what you want it to do and it will be super quiet, you will never know it's on unless of course like a1 stated the water level gets low.

everything that you will need will come with it besides the filter media
