Coralife Lunar Aqualight Question???
Hello,
I have the 36" CF 2x96 10,000k and Actinic. When I turn on the 10,000k that fan comes on and seems to buzz pretty loud. I don't think it's broken, it's just annoying and takes away from the tank, my wife says it's "white noise" and I'll get use to it-but I thought the fans would be quieter-i can hear it from the other room. Is this normal? I have the Red Sea hand on back Prizm Skimmer and it's louder than that. Thanks! |

It shouldn't be that loud.

Pop it out and make sure all the wires a routed clear of the fan. It sounds like a wire may be rubbing against the fan blades.

I own one. It has a quiet hum; not a problem for me. I have a smaller aqualight with a broken fan and that'll drive you crazy with clicking. Be prepared for SOME noise to keep a reef. (I don't use the Aqualight anymore, upgraded)
The Prizm should hardly make any noise at all. That has a tiny little pump. It sounds like you have my "first" system.
