Or a rock is in there . I ran a 1262 and a 1040 for yrs and they where the best pumps i ever had still working Just no need for them.. Did you remove the sponge filter thing ? I always do it will clog up and that will cause impeller cavitation and the warmer the impeller get more wobble in the shaft bushings. But if you hear it it needs work.

My fans I plan on correcting that soon somehow. All the other equipment is in my master closet so close the doors then quiet. The drain pipes are durso type returns so they are super quiet. _________ "The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing"

On my old 55gal at first it was the overflow until I built a modified durso. Then it would have been my skimmer before I upped my return pump to a Rio Hyperflow 14. That thing was no bueno in the noise dept. Have to see how my new 30 gal setup will sound. Quiet is one of the top priority's

Somehow in tank with all that lighting and water movement my noisiest piece of equipment is the MAG 250. At 250gph 
Anyway some day when I get around to redoing the plumbing on the CR to replace it I am going to haul that MAG out into the yard, put some gansta rap on, and stomp the sucker Micheal Boulton style from "Office Space". | |
