Bubbles, yes. Noisy pump, no.

Ok, so I want some bubbles... It's a fish tank, right? I had a tank as a kid and the pump was out of this world loud. One of the appealing things about the Aquarium PC to me was the relative silence. This pump operates submerged. There is a problem though. It makes LOTS AND LOTS of bubbles, and they are super tiny. So small, in fact, that they have a hard time surfacing in the thick oil. Not sure at this point... Pro's are underwater, quiet operation. Cons are small bubbles that cloud the oil... Well, I'm not sure about that last part. This was less than a gallon of oil, and in a 12 gallon tank with circulation, the clouding problem may not exist. Anyone know of a pump as quiet as this?
