Sophia Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 I bought a new Eheim pickup 2006 for my 50cm/33litre tank. All was well, filter functioning 100% correctly. Noticed that when attached to the glass with it's suckers it made quite a noise. (Note to Ira - I mean louder than a fridge, not put my ear on the tank to hear it loud 8) ) Holding the filter away from the glass made it virtually silent. After some scuffling around in the garage my husband produced a stick of plastic and stuck it into a hole in a rock with Aquakneadit. He put some rubber on the bottom of the rock for protection and even less vibration. Attached one set of suckers to the plastic, put it back in the tank and hey presto, almost silent filter again. Once the plants in the tank get bigger (see thread in killie forum) there will be little evidence of the plastic. Filter workaround Filter - from this angle you can barely tell the filter is not attached to the glass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted August 12, 2010 Report Share Posted August 12, 2010 Nice. Now you just need to get a real tank with a real filter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
