Would this tank be good for a beta fish?? And exactly how loud is this pump?

Yes it is good for a Beta, my son has his Beta in one. The pump is only loud if it vibrates against the tank. To avoid this you just readjust the filter and there will be hardly any noise.

I have a beta in mine and he loves it. The pump is quiet unless it touches the side of the lid. Once moved back into place it is quiet.

I use this for my beta fish. It's a perfect size! I also have a log and a plant in it and it still has plenty of room. The filter isn't loud at all. You can't even hear it.

I use this on a 20 gallon tank. It does not seem to have a very strong flow for its size I would not recommend using this in a small tank such as yours. The unit itself would be too large for your tank and too strong. If you have a good filter pump for your tank I would think that it would be sufficient for circulation.

Personally I have an extra pump for my color changing bubbles. I have a 75 gal fresh water tank. Although your tank is smaller you would want the bubbles to e strong and you wouldn't want to take away from the filtering capabilities of the 30 gallon pump. I'm sure you will enjoy the bubbles. I know my fish do.

The aquarium is in my bedroom. The pump is extremely quiet. Frankly, for the price of this little aquarium, I am surprised at the quality. Well worth your money!

Yes. Is very quiet. As long as you have water flowing in and out of course. Otherwise it will make a little bit of noise. Obviously water evaporates, so you would need to fill up a little more water. But the tank totally love it. It works great.

It is a bit noisy at first. A little bit of vaseline on the impeller shaft works wonders. Alternatively, the more bio-film that grows on the impeller shaft the quieter it becomes. Given time, it will quiet down and is a great filter for smaller aquariums (e.g. 10 gallon).

It should work ok for a 30G tank. I have it on a 27G tank. It's rather weak even with almost no media in the treys. If you have saltwater tank with corals that need some current, this is too week. I know it's rated for much larger tank, but it's grossly overrated. I just got this too:( I'm really regretting it. It's unfortunate, but a powerhead will be needed for me:(Just to be clear, even if you have a fresh water tank, you liken't can't get enough flow to filter the whole tank with this power. Go up a model or 2 and get more power. Other than the lack of power, I do like this unit. I just wish that they have marketed it with the right GPH, and that I have purchased a more powerful one.

If you already have an air pump then you're already hearing all that you're going to hear especially if you have a lid/hood on the tank. The bubbles don't make a sound if you have the tank covered. We have a 10 gallon pump Tetra 77851 Whisper Air Pump on this filter and it's very quiet. I personally feel that the noise produced is pretty easy to get used to since it's a consistent humming.

I have 3 of them, they all vary in volume but all 3 are quiet. They make about the same amount of noise as a small gurgling aquarium pump.

Even at n6 volts it is noisier than I would want in my office, let alone bedroom. I also bought the model 160-8 Leisure Components unit (6-12 volt also) Much less noisy, but still noisier than a fish tank pump I used to have in my 15 gallon aquarium

Mine does not seem to be any more noisy than the stock pump in my 29g Biocube. Make sure it is not touching the sides of your tank at all causing plastic or glass vibration.

Probably not. This tank really is barely big enough for 1 beta fish. A couple of glofish is about capacity, despite what the Glofish company puts on the box.

I have it in my African Cichlid tank and it works great!! My fish are fresh water fish. I it is good to provide some sort of water movement for your fish.

Personally I think it may be too much for that size tank. It would filter just fine and do a great job, my only reservation would be current. It would be pretty turbulent in there and the intake might suck in some fish in a heavily stocked tank.

Your beta would love the warmth, but it will take up valuable space if beta only has a 0.8 gallon tank. If you do decide to get one, I would highly recommend a thermometer so not to "cook" your beta. Personally, I would get a slightly bigger tank, so not to hurt my beta.

Sorry also by the way for your 120 gallon tank depends what your keeping. How much flow you want??? 2 jebao 40s or 60s if you want a tsunami. ..these pumps are strong man...

Greetings, for a tank of little ability I do not particularly recommend it. will have too much turbulence, like a hurricane.Look for a more consistent eg 240 Koralia nano.
