Returning them. So, now I'm back to square one on filtration. What's the deal with Azoo? Do they have a QC dept? I don't really need filtration anyway since these are gonna be plants and shrimp. I just need SILENT water movement.

Anyone know of any really really small, dead silent water pumps that throw out maybe 8-15gph and don't shake the tank?

What about other methods? I have really small air pumps that came with old betta tanks. I may just use one to blow up a few bubbles to turn the water surface and call it a day.

Man, I'm not having much luck with equipment for these little tanks. I guess companies figure smaller equipment, cheaper construction.
Do you just want an internal pump, or an actual HOB filter? If you want a pump, look for a Rio 180. Good pumps, and they come with attachments to reduce the flow (it's only 70 GPH as is) and direct the flow to any part of the tank.
