Which to get Vortech pump MP20 or Tunze ?

[xtreme]

My MP40W's are great, but they are not perfectly silent. I'm not familiar with the MP20's but I would think they are similar. Just be aware of that if you plan to have one in your bedroom.

Thank you very much Extreme. With your information I will be giving my wife an "unforgettable" Christmas gift. I don't mind the humming sound like the air conditioner we use in the summer time, but I will check with J&L about Vortech MP20, if it is not quiet enough it will be off of my list. If only Tunze is left on my choice, what models do you guys think is good for my tank size, I only can afford to buy one.

if the dry side and wet side are properly aligned, they're near silent.

near silent, however on pulse mode you can still hear it pulsing, not that its loud by any means

What size is your tank?
