  1. Thanks! My sponges are cleanish. I've rinsed them several times since this rattle started. I'll definitely try shorting the hose, I had not thought of that. I tried the foam under the pump and noticed the hose didnt fit properly any more. Sand doesn't get in my pump either. Do you get sand in your pump chamber area? If you don't, maybe i have too much sand. I definitely have sand in my pump chamber area. I wondered if maybe the black piece that connects to the hose is rattling...the dual part that water flows through into the main part of the tank. Hello! I don't have another tank to test it on but I did put the pump in the open water outside of thr pump chamber, it was quiet. I'm not opposed to getting new pump but I really think it's touching the glass or chamber wall causing the rattle. Initially I did think it was the pump. I lubricated the metal rod, it didn't work. And with more trouble shooting i realized the pump didn't rattle in open water outside the chamber.
  2. I definitely think it's touching the walls. I can't figure out how to keep it from touching. If I put the pump in the open water to test the rattle it doesn't make noise. When I put the pump in the center compartment where it goes, it rattles again. Does sand get inside your pump housing area?
  3. Hello! Any advice would be appreciated. I have the fluval 32.5. It's awfully noisy due to the pump rattel. I've lubricated the metal rod, I tried stuffing extra mechanical filter foam in the center chamber. I can't get rid of the rattle. I have sand substrate. I know the sand has gotten behind the black cover. There's no way to keep it out. I hate to get a new tank knowing that other people like you do not have the noise. Do you think if I get rid of the sand it would solve my problem? Thank you in advance for any feedback
