Looking for a quiet, variable speed/controllable powerhead. I already have a crossflow, but can't stand the sound of it changing speeds, so I leave it on a constant speed. I want to add a random flow powerhead just to "mix things up", so it doesn't need to put out a huge amount. Considering these:

Anyone running these? My tank is currently silent except for a slight hum from the crossflow. Would like to keep it that way.

I do love my jebao and if these are quieter as they claim, then you should be rocking. But I recently bought WAV with my safety bonus, now that is quiet other then a slight hum at the glass.

What model do you have? How's the noise when it changes speed?

I am using Turbelle Nanostream 6095 controllable.. there is a alight hum at high speed but thats not noticeable. I love the option of an almost 360 degree placement for flow requirments
