Aquaclears!

[fluxuploll]

Hey guys,

Since I've heard many good things about the diy Aquaclear refugiums, I decided to try it out. Problem is, they are noisy!!!!!!!!!!! Not the impeller, it's the motor. I've bought and returned a total of 2 aquaclear 70's and a 110. They were all noisy, like a constant humming sound. I don't know how to compare the sound, but it is as noisy as my mini fridge.

I've owned numerous amounts of hob filters and the aquaclears are definitely the loudest of them all. I've heard that they're suppose really quiet. Is it just my bad luck that I'm getting all these defective units or are they really that loud?

Please help!
