Hello all! I just installed as of yesterday my new aqua c femora hang on with mag pump. The skimmer is already pullin gunk but is extremely noisy. I understand the instructions say this is normal at first but would lime to hear some experiences from owners. Im coming from a coralife 125 first then a reef octopus and do not recall either being THIS loud. Thanks!

After about 2 weeks mine calmed down. What noise are you hearing the most? I dislike mag pumps, they are to loud IMO. I switched to an ehiem pump of similar gph because of how quiet these pumps are.

it is a sort of "grinding" type sound. i'll admit it is the same sound most skimmers do make, but this one is a bit much. i have heard the mags are a little noisy, but this isn't the "hum" associated with most powerheads and pumps i'm accustomed to. am i mistaken? could it simply be the pump?
