its the craziest thing...it's even quieter now then before...I have to strain to hear it.

So I took it apart...and put it back together. Quiet as a mouse now. Didn't do anything other than that. No idea.

Just google search rena xp2 noisy there doesn't seem to be any real solutions in ANY of the threads other than take it apart and look at things...I'm going to wait till some gunk builds up see if it muffles it...when I clean it in a month I'll inspect it further. On the plus side...it's the...

Having the same exact problem with an XP2 I bought yesterday, ton of vibration coming from the impeller area...I think it's absurd that I should have to take the thing apart and check the impeller on a brand new filter...unfortunatley I notice all these noise posts after I bought it. It seems...

I have an opaline gourami who's recently become aggressive during feedings. But the angels give as good as they get so its not too much of an issue.

Watch the heat with the angels too if you end up putting them in the tank...I've had problems with them and heat. A whole healthy batch with no Ich had grew fungus from the heat when I had to treat my tank because of an ichy clown loach.

Looking forward to the results of this study :bulb:

I actually just bought an extender tube off F&S so I'm going to clip the shorter tube from the line and use that one as the smaller tool. Trying to think of what I can use to hold that portion of tube straight/rigid though to get it down without it coiling up. I probably wont buy the stuff for...

Anyone tried this stuff? Somthing new at fosters and smith....some type of waste eating bacteria? Curious cause cleaning a planted tank with driftwood is a real pain, my angels are poop machines and the stuff really accumulates around plant bases and places the python can't normally get to.

A word of advice on the aquaclear (I have a thread about this somewhere) if the filter medias are packed too tightly you may have a problem where there is a bit of overflow on the suction side (depending on your tank lid this may or may not be an issue) because the filter can't pump through the...

Not sure what kind I've had other than the "mystery" snails I've got at the LFS a couple times. I had quite an explosion of whatever little type of snails usually come attached to plants and bought the clown loach thinking it would clean up....boy did it. Now no snail is off limits it seems.

I wish I could have snails...unfortunatley my loaches attack them no matter their size like the raptors on trex in Jurrassic Park 1

I'm very calm. A point is a point. Never thought I was getting an expert and aside from my sarcastic initial brainiac comment my commentary in this thread has always been based on the holes in their new gaurantee. Joking with peggy Sue petsmart is not going to change corporate policy. Never said...

any ideas? 55 gallon tank....anything that gets 6-9" wide? low light 1.5 wpg no co2

Wasn't attempting to be rude, just making an observation. Odd though that a jab at someone insinuating they're being petty when its obviously off base with the point of the post, which was clearly elaborated on is OK... Makes sense. At no point did I make mention of the cost of the fish setting...
