Quiet Fan

[cherabin]

Apologies for 'digging' up an old thread. I just bought the Kotobuki from NA earlier today and still find it a little noisy

Gex is out since Hardric mentioned it is noisier than the Kotobuki. Any users of both the Mr Aqua tornado and Kotobuki? Which is the quieter? Many thanks in advance as I want to avoid buying the Mr Aqua only to find out that it produces the same or higher sound level as the Kotobuki.

Bro, I own Mr. Aqua Tornado fan and I can bring it for you to test so that you can compare when I meet you to collect the tank on this Friday.

Hence would like to seek advice and opinions based on the vast experience of fellow forummers on which fan would be as quiet as possible, without compromising it's cooling ability? Would have to scrap the shrimp rearing project if I can't find a suitable fan. Many thanks in advance.

y not try the ANS 1000. It has good cooling effect plus silent. Worth it.
