Top Fin Silenstream PF20 Aquarium Filter Unboxing and Setup | Good Filter for 10-20 Gallon Tank 

It's hard for me to give a completely accurate opinion on noise because there are too many tanks together but it seems pretty quiet with the way the water exits it, as long as your tank is filled up all the way.

You're welcome!

I wonder why they wouldn’t have a valve in the kit version? I doubt you could get one but if you have delicate or small creatures, then I would recommend a coarse sponge over the intake.

@@FishyReview Thank you that's so helpful. I will be going to get more pets and also a coarse sponge.

I truly appreciate your support! Thank you!

The main concern is if you have fish or inverts that might jump/crawl out. The next concern is evaporation. So it’s good to cover as much of the top of the tank as you can, if possible.

It should not be loud at all.

I own 7 top fin filters. 5 tanks. Only time I've had problems with noise is if their defective, need to be primed, or not set up correctly

I hope you’ve figured it out! For this filter, it helps a lot if the tank is as full as it can be.

I had the same problem. I had to really push the inlet tube down to get my water flowing, but it never “clicked” into place like it did in this video. My filter is making little hissing noises so hopefully I did everything correct. Thanks for this video, it was way better than the paper instructions!
