Quiet Options - Algae Scrubber

[dre_jcsutton]

Hello! I am looking for advice on a quiet algae scrubber. I have a FijiCube 20 sump which has a 5"x6" refugium section. I plan to use this area. I was looking at the Santa Monica DROP 1.4X, but see that it requires an air pump. What do you all think would be the quietest scrubber? My display tank is only 25 gallons with a sump that holds around 10 gallons. The tank is in my dining room so to keep my wife happy, it needs to be quiet. Thanks!

If the DROP happens to be the best for the application, do you know of any air pumps that are like dead quiet?

Thanks all.

My L2 sits on the back corner of my sumpless 120 in my home office. The fans on the ReefBreeder lights are louder than the scrubber. I designed mine to operate dead silent.
