Are there any marine aquarium enthusiasts out there ? We are on our 3rd tropical aquarium at the moment and are venturing into a marine one after a couple of years of research. It was delivered last week and we set it up with a Fluval FX6 canister filter, unfortunately after 1 week we have had to return the filter due to the noise it emitted, the tank is in our living room and it was soooo noisy you could actually hear it upstairs, and that is with clean water in it ( not dirt or grit) as we have not introduced fish yet, so we are back to square one. We need an efficient canister filter for over 300 litres, that runs quietly....a low hum is obviously acceptable but not like the one we have just returned.
We are researching and have spoken to fish keeping places but usually find they advise the ones they sell so not sure how unbiased their opinions are....just thought I would put it out there and see what if anything we get back. We have a couple of alternatives in the top 3 but after Fluval and the cost of them we would like some unbiased opinions of what you have, would not touch, would recommend etc?
thanks in anticipation
