So I took the pump and gave it a good cleaning and got all the salt build up on the part that connects the air tube to the pump thinking that would solve them.problem for sure. But not didn't make a difference! I hate the noise what can I do to get it back to silent?

Second problem is my candy coral used to be really healthy. All my other coral looks fine except the candy corals heads are shrinking. Any tips?
Sounds like something is still blocking or impeding the muffler. I've also seen a thread where a person added a piece of hose to the end of the muffler, and fed it back into the exhaust hole on the collection cup. This silenced it quite a lot apparently.
