Best quiet return pump for 22g AIO

[EranL]

Hi everyone,
Have set up a new nano reef aquarium which is stagimed at my bedroom. The aquarium came with a small unknown ac pump and fitting 8mm silicon tubing, which makes a lot of noise.

What good budget replacement may fit?

Sounds either broken or like it's sitting up against the glass. Take it apart and make sure the impeller, etc is in good shape. Then try reinstalling it in a more favorable position.

Any pump that small should be virtually silent; if not there's something wrong with the install or the pump itself.

If it's actually broken and since it's new, the mfgr will hopefully replace it for you.

Verify first though!

I tried adjusting it's place with no success. Opened it in the morning and everything looked normal to me. I will say that it's a pretty cheap chinese pump, no written manufacturer.

The shop said it will replace it and hope that will fix it, even tho I still thing replacing it entirely with a better pump would be better, that's why I'm askimg about fitting pumps ideas.
