Loud marineland 200

Hi I just got my filter today and when I turned it on it seems to be very loud and produce micro bubbles how do I stop this.

If it's a new filter just turned on they it has to get the water up into it first. HOB filters are not the quietest filters to begin with either. Micro bubbles are common. Wouldn't worry about it.

For mine, I use a cup and dump in tank water from the top to help the motor fill it up easier.

My marineland has a bit of noise, just a low whirl of the impeller spinning. I get the same bubbles and don't really consider them an issue.

What kind of noise?

Water noise and bubbles reduce if you raise the water level.

The Marineland filters can also be noisy when everything isn't just right. You can take it apart, re assemble, and make sure you dump water into it before and while starting it.

My penguin 350b recently started making noise. The motor would not match up with the impeller no matter what I did. I eventually trashed it because I couldn't fix it and it was so loud I had to sleep in another room(it was on a tank in my bedroom)

My water level stays at the rim. The noise in my tank isn't splash back or a water noise, I hear the whiz of the impeller. I clean mine every few weeks but it still hums.

My water level is high. The sound it of splashing and a hum.
