Internal v's Canister
I have found that they are reasonable quiet when you have the water level quite high (close to the outflow) otherwise they can be a bit noisey, but not unbearable. Then again i only have my 2ft tanks in the garage so don't really notice it. But at nights when I do venture into the garage it is not overly noisey. Hope this helps. Definitely less noisey than UGF's

Internal v's Canister
Good thing about canister filters is that you don't have to clean them very often An alternative to a canister filter could be to use a HOB (Hang on Back Filter) I am running these on all my tanks that are under 2ft and they run very well with little maintenance.

DIY customwood stands...
I have a mdf stand for my fish tank that I have been using for the past 10 years and it is still in good nick with no painting or sealing. Secret is to not spill any water.

Hang on filter questions
I have both the Jebo and Aquaclear HOB filters and find that the Aquaclear are better at accomodating the media I like to put in, whereas with the jebo you have to use their prorietary media sheets. If you have the money go for Aquaclear, if cheap is what you are after then jebo.

filter media order
as Sharn said but make sure that you find out what direction the flow is and make sure that the course material is the first to get the dirty water and work towards the finer material
