I figured out what was causing all the rucuss. I had just recently took the filtering cartridge off and replaced it with that black cone thing that comes with the aquaclear. BUT when I changed it out I shoved sponge into the black part to keep it from sucking up babies. I guess I shoved too much sponge in there and it was like it was clogged, not pumping out much water and making a whole lot of noise.
My solution... I took the power head by itself and placed it on a little block of foam that I cut. Now the power head sits on the block of foam, makes ALOT less noise and won't be sucking up any babies.
What I did notice was that it seems to be sending vibrations through my whole tank or something. The tank is actually quieter with the cabinet doors open. I forget the maker of my cabinet but its the kind where you push the door in to pop it open and is held shut with magnets. Has anyone else ever experienced this?
i think its less abrasive then axel grease hey something has to quiet thos impellers if you dont want to try chap stick try murrays polmade its super thick and white its in the orange tin you can get 3oz at CVS savon for like 2$ which is like 20 chapsticks worth dont go crazy with it, it only takes about a pea sized amount to have your impeller stfu
