You can get fans with colored LEDs as well. I used to have a set over my 230g and they made for nice evening lighting. They were more expensive, but it was worth it.

For the ultimate quiet fans, I used 220V computer fans - but wired them with standard 110V power. That way, they run at 1/2 speed. They are still effective, but they never reach the speed that generates that "computer fan noise".

The only risk with this approach is that the bearing on the fan must be good, or the 110V won't kick start the fan. While I was warned about this when I purchased them, it has never happened to me.
