Hello. If set up properly, there should be no noise or vibrations coming from a new Aquaclear other than the splash from the discharge on a tank with a low water level. I would suggest returning for a new one. I have used Aquaclears for decades and my oldest one is still hanging in there. They can vibrate a bit and make noise but that most likely occurs when the Impeller Shaft wears away after years of use especially if one runs a sand substrate. The first time it happened to me it drove crazy not being able to figure it out. The stainless steel impeller shaft keeps the impeller in its proper place for effective rotation, resulting in a smooth spinning impeller. No more vibrations and rattling noise. Just a few dollars and easy to replace, I keep a couple on hand.

🤙🏽🤙🏽

Yep and yep🤙🏽🤙🏽

Cheeeehoooo🤙🏽🐠🤙🏽

Ah right on I’m glad you liked it, shoot on eBay maybe type in filter media or ceramic bio media that will also work 🤙🏽🤙🏽

Del Soares MAHALO🤙🏽🤙🏽🌺🌺

Saya Mellow ahhhhhh yeahhhhh!!! 🤙🏽🤣🤙🏽

Thanks braddah 🤙🏽🐠🤙🏽

🤙🏽💪🏽🤙🏽

Interesting good looking out 🤙🏽🐠🤙🏽

I had the same problem with my Aquaclear 75’s 2 of em on a 125 and 1 on a 75 I have set up. After dealing with the humming noise for over a month I broke down and bought a Fluval FX6 for my 125 gal and a Sunsun 704B for my 75 gal.

@@scottgordin9709 nice upgrade 🤙🏽🐠🤙🏽

Your problem is not with the impeller shaft. The stainless steel shaft is designed to tightly sit in the magnetic motor housing as to not move or vibrate negating a top contact point as other filters with ceramic shafts require. It is in there so tight one would need pliers to pull it out. If the shaft moves after installation then your problem is not the shaft but rather the motor housing in which it cannot be repaired and would need replacement. It takes years for the shaft to wear down to the point that the impeller would then start to spin out of balance causing a vibration or rattling noise. If your filter vibrates or makes a noise then the likely cause is a worn impeller shaft or a cracked magnet on the impeller. The shaft is just a few dollars and I tend to replace them every 5-8 years if needed after a thorough inspection. After decades of use, I have yet to replace anything on all my Aquaclears other than the impeller shafts and the o-ring on the motor housing. Fluval didn't buy AquaClear. They are one of the many brands that Hagen Groups owns. Hagen is just integrating AquaClear into the Fluval brand just like they are doing with the Marina brand. The exact same products with new packaging.

Appreciate the love and support 🤙🏽🤙🏽🐠🐠

Yeah no more HAMMER TIME!! 🤙🏽😂🤙🏽

@@HaYNFishKeeper lol.

Ahhh thanks I appreciate it🤙🏽🤙🏽

Lolol u nailed it “bang bang” RIP POPS!! 🤙🏽🐠🤙🏽

Petco and Petsmart sell sponges too 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

🤙🏽

Thanks!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽

Right on be careful on scrubbys then tend to get dirty pretty fast dont put to many gauge your flow 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

@@HaYNFishKeeper gotcha. Thanks for all the cool vids.

@@HaYNFishKeeper one more question. Could I run the filter for a little bit without the ceramic media? I ordered some but it's on the slow boat.

Yes u can!! The good ole Prefilter!! 🤙🏽🐠🤙🏽

I got it on Amazon 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

Oh definitely 🤙🏽🐠🤙🏽

Oh know I got one better than that …. Check out the Tidal by Seachem powered by Sicce, the best HOB on the market, check out the Bells and whistles on this one!!! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WHuSzcBYEmA.html

I’ll do another I promise! 🤙🏽💯🤙🏽

🤙🏽🤜🏽💥🤛🏽

💯💯facts💪🏽 I don’t blame you honestly lol🤙🏽💯🤙🏽 they are a pain in the butt!!

Aloooha!!! I love over filtering my aquariums 110 on a 55 is awesome in my opinion I have a 110 tidal and a 75 tidal on a 40gal that’s has two of my flowerhorns in it as far as cleaning the media bags I use my kitchen sink using reg water is okay as long as you don’t soak the media in there for long periods of time pretty easy and simple 🤙🏽🐠💯❤️

I would say awesome set up!! 🤙🏽🐠🤙🏽

@@HaYNFishKeeper thank you brother, I learn so much from your Videos..

Oh Yeah Matrix is awesome but Im showing fish keepers a cheaper alternative for upgrades 🤙🏽🐠🤙🏽

🤙🏽💯

Yeah I’ve never used Carbon I over filter all my aquariums and pack them with Bio Media that’s it🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

So what to do when phosphate is to high

U can usually find them at the Dollar Tree

@@HaYNFishKeeper I got me some. Going with those, poly fil with ceramic material on top.

Okay go to Ebay and search Macropore Sponge

@@HaYNFishKeeper got it coming next week thanks 🙏🏽. Also I got a 30 gallon high tank about 21” L x 16” W x 22” H do have any suggestions on a small canister filter that I can slide behind it I seen a couple just not sure what’s good unless you can do a video on it. I actually have one in mind not sure if I should go for it “Finnex PX-360 Compact Canister Aquarium Filter” and follow your pimping skills on the same media formation.

Oh sorry they are 1” thick

Nope… this one does not have it you gotta make sure you buy this one🤙🏽🤙🏽

20-30 just type in MACROPORE SPONGE not MICROPORE AND IT SHOULD COME UP 🤙🏽🤙🏽

Wild Drew 🤣😂 🤙🏽🤙🏽

Ooooo Sarah I’m not sure about that, I’m a dumb dumb when it comes to salt water lol sorry 🤙🏽🐠🤙🏽

It should be fine. Saltwater fish and corals do not mind flow anyway. my brother uses a marineland 350 on a 20gallon and that filter produces a lot of flow.

🤙🏽💯🤙🏽

All you needs is a cup of tank water 🙂🙃

I agree, how are you supposed to prime the stupid thing if the power went off, even for a very short time, while you were at work /shopping /holiday. Equals: Dead fish. Plus there is nothing stopping the pump from running even though it's dry. Bloody dangerous.

💯💯

💪🏽💪🏽🤙🏽

Dustin Dunlap yeah braddah you totally can do it, just change out the sponges and do it my way and as far as the media goes keep it your media is cycled it will be fine, you’ll lose some bene bac from taking out the sponges but that shouldn’t make an impact on the tank, we’ll wait what do you have stocked?

Ha Y N Fish Keeper I have 4 male guppies, 2 glo fish, 2 tetras, and a pleco in a 55g

Dustin Dunlap oh yeah braddah you’ll be fine swap out the sponges you’ll be fine

Yeah I think it’s like a year, if you go to eBay type in Macro Sponge or aquarium filter sponge 🤙🏽🤙🏽

@@HaYNFishKeeper Thanks

Oh you can get those on eBay or Amazon under “Mesh Bio Media Bags”🤙🏽💎

@@HaYNFishKeeper appreciate it homie

Lava Rocks Home Depot 🤙🏽🤙🏽

@@HaYNFishKeeper Went on there site bag cost $30.00! Setting up my new 75 gallon tank! Have a canister filter and the one you did a video on

On eBay Media Bags🤙🏽🤙🏽

@@HaYNFishKeeper ok I'll Google it! I'm not a registered on Ebay though

@@dtechvinnie maybe try Amazon 🤙🏽🤙🏽

@@HaYNFishKeeper I did they looked a little cheap guess I'll order them

Not much if you Hey The right one, dont use a fine micropore use a more macropore Sponge

@@HaYNFishKeeper Wondered because it restricts inlet. Thanks

@@TheWalk23 just don’t use the fine sponge u wanna use a sponge with bigger holes in the sponge

@@HaYNFishKeeper thanks for the quick reply.

Absolutely 🤙🏽🐠🤙🏽

@@HaYNFishKeeper just subbed ur channel. Great job man and thanks.

@@MrTopsoil911 right on much love and thank you for the support

@@HaYNFishKeeperalso wanted to ask how long does carbon take it make water pure crystal clear. Its clear now but like to make it more clear

@@MrTopsoil911 Idk i never use carbon

Not at all it reduces Nitrates 🤙🏽🐠🤙🏽

@@HaYNFishKeeper was a sweet video... I've been looking at new filters for my 75... alot of the regular HOBs dont fit the bigger rim of the 75... might be a good video to show what filters do fit! Thanks bro!

Ken Talanoa i but them in a 2x2 ft sheet

Ken Talanoa yeah bra bottom one 1” top 1/2”
