mag5 pump noise?

[Kiko]

do anyone have any idea how to reduce the noise level of a mag5?!?!?
what ive done/tried:
cleaned it twice (today)
put foam pad underneath it (still there)
put foam pad on the side of it (still there)
moved it around the sump (not touching any walls of the sump)
make it work at 50-100% flow rate (100% flow rate atm)

any suggestions?

Replace it.

Oh, if you looking for more rocks when I get rid of the GloFish you can take whats in there.

Is it new of used?

What condition is the maggnet in?

Maggnet may have damage causing an embalance which maybe causing the noise.

That's what I was thinking too but for the cost of a new impeller you could almost buy a new one and save the noisy one as a spare.

or is it that mag 5 are just noisy period?

yee let me have all of them... ima scape the bottom too for segregation of the bigger ones... lol

Don't think it's cause of the Danner pumps, I've run several before without the noise like you are experiencing.

ima just buy an impeller then... save the other impeller as spare... if that dont work then... ima just leave it until next year...

oo Q i did a 50% water change and that thing still smells like that burnt smell... -.- hopefully it goes away by tmw...

[eklikewhoa]

I would double check all electrical, might be your air pump.

[Kiko]

if it was electrical it woulda shocked me... lol... i was bare footed while working on the tank... lol
lemme double check the air pump...

[eklikewhoa]

no I mean something is burning and then transferring smell into the tank.

[Kiko]

you think it might be the new overflow that is making it smell? i just painted it today and put it in like 3 hours later... lol

[eklikewhoa]

Doubt it cause it would have a chemical smell. Check your lighting over the sump.

Anything that could cause a smell and carry it into the water. If it was the overflow it would smell outside the tank too.
