Title: Filtration is average for HOB filter; noise level is high
Review: I purchased this without doing much shopping around and I regret it. I'm running it in a 20 gal aquarium I recently pulled out of storage and am disappointed. The filtration is about average (and adequate for my tank) for this type of filter, but, compared to the two other hang on the back filters I've had this one is much too loud.It's the impeller and it makes a rattling noise. I've taken it out and cleaned it, and let it run for 48 hours, and then stopped it and reseated it, hoping to get it to quiet down, but to no avail. I've had it running for 4 days now and haven't even put any fish in because I don't want to stress them out from the noise and vibrations. I don't think I'll return it, but it's looking more like a waste of money every day.
