I have to be honest and say I’m completely fed up.
I’ve been bitten by the bug and purchased what I had considered to be good quality equipment from quality manufactures, after running my RSM 250 for several weeks now I’m completely fed up with the ongoing noise from the system.
I’ve purchased a beautiful Red Sea Max250, a Tunze Osmolator, D & D Chiller and today a Vortech MP40W.
The problem is as I’ve read in many of the posts here, excessive noise from the max pumps/skimmer.
The max is located in our lounge and is simply just too loud. I’m now turning off the pumps when we using the lounge so we can hear the tv or read/talk in peace.
I’ve emailed Steve at Red Sea on the 18/10 and again yesterday but disappointedly I’ve not received any response.
Do all 250 owners have this noise problem?
I need to reduce the noise output from the max or it will be heading for an auction site as neither I nor my wife can stand it any longer.
Are there any alternatives available in the UK to the stock pumps/skimmer that will operate near silently and fit inside the existing cabinet?
FYI, I’ve stripped and cleaned the pumps and made sure they are correctly assembled. The pumps when turned on just make a loud noise.
Thanks for any help and advice you can offer
