Is bubbling and splashing from a sponge filter or undergravel-filter uplift tube making your aquarium too noisy? Mark tests stored Aquael PAT Mini pumps, fits them to compatible uplift tubes and compares the flow and noise in his upstairs shrimp tanks.
The result in this room was better circulation and a modest noise reduction—not complete silence. Check fit, flow and shrimp safety for your own setup, keep every electrical connection dry, and follow the pump manufacturer's instructions.
