Abyzz A100 - Noisy, vibrates, and rattles

[dale347]

my a200 has been perfect since new

Red sea rsk-900 with a stand so I can open it up to pull more through co2 scrubber and it helps when I put new filter floss in or change the water.
It is a good skimmer, but if I could do ot again I would probably buy a dc pump. Maybe the royal with the red dragon pump

Thank you!

I purchased a new A100 Abyzz return pump. I am very surprised how noisy this pump is. I can hear it vibrating and rattling in the return chamber as well. I did plumb an inlet screen and switched from silicone tubing to braided vinyl. But I do not think that would cause the issue.

their is a signed certificate in the box that says pump was inspected and not noisy and does not vibrate. I read the instructions that talk about a run in period for the bearings. I am hoping the pump gets quieter. It has been running at 64% for 3 days with no change in noise level.

maybe I need to buy a rubber maid or oxe matt to help dampen the loud noise.

I am surprised that this pump is far louder than My ecotech vectra, hydor, and sicce ac pumps. This is the loudest pump I owned, but it is marketed as near silent and known in the industry as the best pump and quietest pump. Maybe I should have got the A200 or a red dragon.

hopefully others have experienced this and the pump does get quieter after a couple weeks.

I am curious as to others experience with this pump

I have just installed a new A100 and the noise is terrible did you ever resolve this?

I installed a silicone return line and oxo matt underneath which helped. It does get quieter overtime. However everytime I clean it, it has to re break in a little

Thank you for your original advice from a while back when I was trying to buy my equipment. I ended up going with Royal Exclusive and couldn't be happier. It's extremely quiet. What would you recommend my setting be for the Red dragon 3 speedy 100w 3100 gph for a 150 gallon tank and 39 gallon sump? I've been trying for days to dial in the flow and not sure if it's correct.

I had mine replaced yesterday and new one is dead silent, BRS is the best for quick service!
