ok, I have an aquaclear 300...um aquaclear 70 now I think, for 10-15 gallons or something.
when I first got it, it ran so quiet i didnt even know it was on. not, after a few months, some algae growth and sand getting caught on the pump and all...I cannot get it to quiten down at all.
I have cleaned it thouroughly, I have lubricated any mobing parts with vasoline, everything I can think of and it still makes a good bit of noise, and every few minutes it makes a really loud grinding noise as teh pump blade rubs against either the top or the bottom of the filter channel... :/
any ideas other than a new one?
