Hey guys!
Got my new Hydors in, and the flow is great....
BUT HOLY SHNIKES THEY ARE LOUD!
jda123 graciously let me borrow some of his used ones to try out. They rattle to life every time they start, and clunk to a stop every time they stop. I figured that was just because they were older, but the new ones are just as bad or WORSE out of the box!
I am using the Hydor 1500s...has anyone used the equivalent Tunze stream pump on a wave maker (turnng on and off)? How loud are they?
Using the Hydor wavemaker or the Red Sea wavemaker (hard start vs soft start, does not seem to make any difference.
Can you tell me if they also make this racket? It's driving me crazy. And it's so loud I can hear it anywhere in the house when they come on.
If they were just continuously running it would be different, but the start and stop noises are bad enough I am afraid they are going that I am sure they are effecting the fish adversely.
Any advice much appreciated!
Thanks!
Dave
