pride Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 Hi All, Has there been a decline in quality of the aquaclear filters or am I just unlucky and got a dud? I bought a new ac200 and straight up unit seems much more noisy than what these used to be. I took apart the impeller and shaft to rinse for any grit and reset but still same rattle. With the lid off its bearable but not what I want. Decided to lube the impeller and shaft with a little vaseline which made the unit dead silent but 2 days later already back to the noisy unit. Anyone else have this problem or a known issue with the AC now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyedge Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Hi Adam, Welcome back. Not sure of the quality of current aquaclear but I am still using the aquaclear that you gave me longtime ago What fish are you keeping now? Still into American?

pride Posted October 4, 2018 Author Share Posted October 4, 2018 Hey mate, long time since I saw you around mac park although I recently got cut in the last round of redundancies which I was hoping. Back with the one tank for now and currently cycling with plans for a multispinosa species tank which I havent kept before. I'm sure one will turn into a second tank though the hobby seems so much more expensive now. Ended up ditching the ac200 for an eheim 2217. Living in a flat and couldnt cope with new noise from the AC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
