it should be quite you might want to pull it out and take it apart to see if something is rubbing in it

Reefing is'nt how long you been in it. It is how deep you get in it.

Current Tank Info: 400g display build, 300g sump, 75g ATO, 75g refug and a few more. Close to a 1000g. 200g mixing station.

For some reason, the Mag7s are horribly noisy. There are plenty of posts with this same complaint. I had the same issue with mine. I tried a lot of tricks and nothing worked. I replaced it with an Eheim 1260. NIGHT AND DAY difference (is it on?). A ton more flow too.

If the Mag7 is too strong, you wouldn't like the 1260. Go with a 1250 instead.
