Hi everyone,
I haven't used canister filters before... are they meant to be this noisy? I bought this for my rio 125 as I heard it was quiet (the tank is in my bedroom) but I can hear it from standing outside the door of my room! Honestly feel like I wasted £125 as I cannot sleep with this thing in the room. Do canisters filters have to 'break in' and slowly get quieter? I've noticed the output is constantly blowing air bubbles out of it, which is exacerbated when I move the filter from side to side. I thought maybe it could be a trapped bit of air but it doesn't stop
EDIT: I've changed to a brand new Eheim 2217... exact same problem/noise.
