Finally got my system filled and running last night, first time using a return pump and sump.
Man the return pump is loud! I chose to go ac and got a fluval sp4. Very strong and the noise is not from vibration just a hum of the motor. Is this normal? Just needs to break in? I have the pump almost 100% open with the gate valve.
If it doesnt subside I will buy another and use it as an emergency backup. Maybe go dc pump over ac if needed.
