Tony.Bates Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 OK, so I've had this tank for a couple of weeks now, and to be honest, its %#%@%$ noisy! Sounds like a huge waterfall in the middle of a rain storm. I was at the LFS today for some bits and pieces, and saw they had an AR980 on display, WHISPER quiet! Not a gurgle! Nor a Murmor! I peeked under the filter covers, and to my surprise found that my tank at home is missing the thicker coarse black foam that covers the noodles and carbon! no wonder my tank is noisy! The water from the dispersion pipe is falling straight into more water! Yeash! :roll: Rant over! Needless to say I bought a new filter pad set and will be installing the black foam this evening!

Snowman Posted September 23, 2005 Report Share Posted September 23, 2005 LOL when i bought my AR850 i missed on the the outlet spout and some filter wool, of course didn't realise this until i had a closer look at the same tank for sale 6 mths later, luckily the shop i got it from gave me the missing bits although i am basically spending there every weekend now. The filter wool you buy in bulk is a lot thicker and will quieten it down more again as the water doesn't have as far to fall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
