Buyo Tl 550 filter help1

Hello, I just finished scaping my tank and now it's all filled up. When I turned it on the filter makes a very loud noise. When I take the UV steriliser off it doesn't make the noise anymore. Do I need the UV steriliser or what else can I do to make the tank more quiet? The filter runs nice and on low noise on its own.

Thanks Andreas

 

is the pump hanging or on the bottom of the compartment.
Mine hangs when i have connected the uv in the past due to the pipe being slightly sort. When the pump touches the sides of the filter compartment it vibrates against the sides
if thats the case and you want to use the uv you can cut some filter sponge and wrap it around the pump so to form a cushion

 

I found the problem, it was the pump. Something in the pump made the noise. I got a new buyo pump and its connected to the steriliser and dead quiet.

 

Got the same tank and the pump has also all of a sudden become very loud. Can I ask how much you paid for a replacement pump? I want to get one. Thanks

 

Hey, I bought a Boyu SP - 1500 pump for R200.

 

Check the old pump for broken shaft or something that might be stuck in the impeller housing. I actually dumped my pump into a media bag to keep snails and other particles out of the intake.
