Yes but at very least remove it just to check if it’s the noise. Then if it is I’d recommend using something else as if it’s making noise I’m sure it’s being slowly damaged somehow.I will definitely try removing it although by doing so i take away any safe guards for accidents to happen.
I just had a jebo gyre pump suck up a matted file fish in my other tank and unfortunately he was a gunner.
I'd like to avoid something similar in the seahorse tank if possible since the seahorse cost considerably more.
