Need suggestions for fluval evo 13.5 pump noise

[mikedearth]

Just set up my fluval 13.5 evo, the pump is noisy even though it's not touching anything. Any help is appreciated!

Is it new and I assume you have stripped it down and checked it over and cleaned it? Might be the vibration on the return pipe so maybe take a look to see if the elbow is rattling from the vibration.

Following along with interest as I maybe getting one of these tanks but not if the return pump is noisy.

If you goggle it there are a lot of people upgrading the pump but no mention of noise that I can find

What type of pump? Is it a Sicce AC pump? I always found them super loud

I now run a MightyJet Mini 266 GPH DC and near zero sound IMO
