Thank you so much for this video! I have the exact same filter on my 125 gallon discus tank and have loved it until it started making an awful noise. Thanks you your video I fixed the propeller and now it's as quite as the day I bought it! Definitely giving you a like and a subscribe!
2:49 mins into the video and my problem is solved!! I'm new to canisters, and my first rinse-out resulted in 1) a leak(which i found the problem) and 2) loud buzzy rattle (which i suspected was impeller related and you told me what to look for). THANK YOU!!!
Man you fixed my stuff!! I was missing the bushing on the inside of the impeller and didn't know it! I checked it out and made a replacement. Low and behold it worked! Thanks a million!
Would I like about your videos is the fact that at one time you figured out what was wrong with your filters and how to go about fixing them you and I are around the same age and we have a tendency to use our heads and common sense when it comes to problems and problem-solving

Super helpful! It was the impeller causing all the racket in my freshly unboxed Aquatop. I discovered it didn't come with the rubber tip needed to stabilize the impeller's rod, but luckily the same tip from my recently deceased Eheim fit in there. Magic!
Dear Sir! Your video helped me silencing my Sunsun HBL 802 today morning, my culprit was extra packed bio media in it. I reduced it and problem solved. Thanks a ton. God bless u.
Thank you very much Ben. Followed your instructions and it worked great. I was so close to replace mine with a more expensive filter and now I could sleep next to it.
I was very happy with the performance of this filter (non uv model) my Ehiem crapped out after many years and i couldnt get it to work properly so i needed a new filter asap, ordered off amazon and again, very happy. My only gripe is its rather noisy, its not horrible, but compared to the ehiem and rina filstars, it is. The impeller trick reduced it to a more reasonable level. I had it perfect but transporting it over to the tank after a cleaning made it a bit loose. For the price, you get a bit on the flimsy side of plastics but otherwise its well worth the money.
I applied your technique to my sunsun hbl 803 and now it doesn't make those annoying bubbling noise in the outlet pipe again. Really really great video
Great video!!!!Giving the impeller a good clean then adding some pure petroleum jelly (Vaseline) On the shaft,impeller and a bit in the housing also helps a lot it also prolongs the life of the impeller and the life of the canister
Been running my 704B for about a half year in an overstocked over filtered 37 gal tank full of Rusty Cichlids. Initially it became noisy after a few days and it took me a while to figure out that pre-filter blockage on the intake was the culprit. Had to buy a larger coarser pre-filter and squeeze it out when it becomes full - no noise no problem. After watching your videos I bought my Sun Sun on sale for $69. Love this quiet powerful monster. For only $300 more I could have bought a Fluval FX6 ;-{) BTW - RUclips stopped email notifications for all my subscribed channels including yours. One RUclipsr wrote that RUclips no longer notifies his subscribers by email.
Good tips. I have a Penn Plax Cascade with a rattling impeller and already did all your tips. However, I think the impeller shaft needs a spacer/washer to center it vertically. I'm gonna try it.
Hi Ben i´m from Argentina and i have a sunsun hw-3000 and is a beast in all aspects, i love the possibility to increase or decrease the power of the bomb. Nice tips and great video. greetings!!
Thank you for all of your tips ... I got my sunsun second hand and cleaned it today ... omg flood ... noisy ... wouldn't prime ackkk thank you thank you ... your vids saved me. Am wondering where to get the o rings
I ran a 704b for a couple of years. Powerful filter. I did have issues with noise at 1st. I rubbed the impeller magnet with silicone grease. It worked until the filter got broken in and it became very quite. The problem is the UV light design is terrible. When I cleaned the filter there would be water in the glass housing that is supposed to keep the bulb dry. I tried to seal it by rubbing silicone grease on the o ring seal. Didn’t work. Finally the water corroded the electrical connection. I retired the filter. I still have it as a backup in case of emergency. If SunSun would release a version of this filter I would buy it. The UV light is to small anyway for a large filter like the 704 b
I wonder if a bit of plumbers tape would help seal off that light? I only ran the UV on weekends and never relied on it for anything more that water clarification (i e not for killing virus etc)
I had a high pitched whining noise coming from my daughter's brand new Polar Aurora 525 gallon canister filter after setup after a few hours. Shaking and tipping it (releasing air) would fix it for an hour then the high pitched whining noise would return. Turns out the outflow nozzle tube was too restrictive and causing back-pressure on the pump. Drilling out the holes to a larger size (increasing flow) eliminated the noise permanently.
Great video 👍 as always great information! I had a great time in the livestream this am, thank you my friend 😉 I eventually shut down my canisters...having 25 tanks it’s just so much electricity and worry I’ve switched to a huge air pump and tricked out hobs for now, how many canisters do you run?
Hi Vinny, That’s a lot of tanks! I get it on how much juice they were using. Sponge filters and pumps make sense. I’m currently running 3 cans...but will shift to more sponges if my number of tanks goes up, for sure!
Great value for money canister filter I also have 4 never had any issues with them Running noisy. Also run the fx6. Some great information around is it all find solutions canister filter (sun sun)
Just a follow up for others...my issue was that my impeller top was not locked down correctly. If it is too difficult to turn and lock then it probably isn't seated right.
my filter often gets small air bubbles stuck in it, i had an idea of putting the filter on a timer unit so it turns off for 15mins per day to allow air bubbles to evacuate. Do you think that would work?
Ben, I have a question. I'm about to purchase a Oase biomaster thermo 250 canister filter for my 40 gal. freshwater aquarium. However, I've read comments from people that own them. They all complain about "burping," releasing air bubbles into the aquarium, and/or has low flow rates. I would like to know if its possible to replace the impeller that will come with the filter, that I'm planning to buy, with a bigger impeller? Would that fix the problem?
Thanks Ben! Your videos always have great tips for aquarium hobbyists. I'm going to try your suggestion of putting yoga mat material under the footings of my canister filter. I'm getting a good amount of cabinet resonance noise, so it seems like your tip could be a true fix. Thanks a bunch!
I just got a sunsun HBL-802 and it makes an unbearable noise, I`ve disassembled and reassembled it several times but the noise continues to be heard even outside the room. I hope they take it back, otherwise I have to throw it away.
I love your channel Ben. I've noticed when I tilt my Sun Sun to release air bubbles (when it's turned on) that some water leaks from the lid connection points. I applied Husky silicone grease to the large o-ring at set up. Is it normal for a some water to leak when I tilt it?
Might be moisture from working with it. If it doesn’t keep growing you’re okay. Consider getting an inexpensive water sensor (like Watchdog brand at amazon.com/shop/benochart) and keep canisters in rubber tubs.
@@BenOchart I did both of those things and it was fine. I've since sold that house and was fortunate to sell that 125g to the buyers with all the fish (didn't want move all that) and bought a Fluval canister for my 38g at new house.
How long would you say it takes to break in? I have mine set up (704b) for a month and there is a slight noise from it, in a quiet room you can hear it almost as much as my air pump, it came partially installed I just had to put media and prime. Cleaned it today and opened the impeller and it seemed fine, I did shake it a little too remove air and it let out all the air it had, where should I look?
The sound of the bubbles or the tube sucking in air? Mines under a canopy, so I can barely hear it. I took the cap off of the airline and it got real quiet. You can also just not use the airline, and make it a powerhead with no bubbles.
@@BenOchart i might return the marineland canister i got like 2 weeks ago. Ever since i opened the box it seemed like the filter they sent me was used. I've tried adjusting the impeller many times and checked for leaks but no matter what it keeps making that sound. Last thing i will try is adding some Vaseline to the impeller. Apparently that's what some do to their canister filters to make them run quiet so it doesn't hurt to try i guess. As a matter of fact when I first got this canister filter it was coated with this grease like stuff in multiple places including the impeller. I freaked out a d that that wasn't gonna be good for my fish so i cleaned off all the grease and maybe that's what caused this rattling.. but anyways il let you know if the grease fixes my rattling problem
My canister is leaking bad and sounds like it's got air trapped I've tried your tips but nothing is working its a all pond solutions 2000l EFX??+ it has flooded my carpets twice I don't no how to fix it
It shouldn’t be. Be sure the baskets are not overfilled, motor and impeller are properly seated and secure and the unit is on a foam pad with the hoses not touching anything and not too long.
@@BenOchart I’ve tried all of those options and still too noisy . I’d like to hear another fx4 motor to confirm if it’s faulty or they all make a loud hum
I have a Sun Sun HW 5000 and the valves leak in a place that can't be sealed or a new o-ring added. I've tried to contact the company in various ways they don't respond and I can't find parts for it anywhere. I also have a fluval FX6 on the tank as well so at least it's working great. Update: called them and they answered right away. I am waiting for them to send me an invoice for the parts I need. if you have one that's less than a year old and you have the receipts they will send them for free. In my case I don't have the receipt.
It's a beast when it works. Mine leaked from the valve too. Didn't even make it 24 hours. Took over a month for Ming Trading to send a replacement. Now it's sounding like a grinding noise and like it's sucking in air. I'm going back to Fluval myself. Rumors are, and why you can't find the hw-5000 or any parts, is they're temporarily discontinuing it to rework a couple things due to all the complaints.
I took the rubber ring off the top of my canister filter to check it. It was fine so I popped the ring back on, but I didn’t put it back in exactly the same position. Because it was a used ring it was compressed in a few spots. When I didn’t put it back in the exact same spot it let a very small amount of air into the canister - rattled like hell. Such a small error and once corrected it went back to being whisper quiet. But it took me three days to work out what I had done incorrectly. 🥺🥺🥺
Often it comes in mixed in with the media, like in the sponges and needs to work it’s way out. If hoses are not snugly attached or if the large rubber O ring has cracks or flat spots, air can get in that way too.

Ricky Tillotson the loud rattling noise but when I open and check everything seems good. I can’t tell what causes the rattling noise
Have you happen to have a airstone were the outlet pipe is mate
I love my Sunsun canisters. Those most common issue I have is the little skimmers on the intake tend to suck air in from the surface.

There’s some air getting in. Be sure connections are tight and if that doesn’t handle it, check the O ring that seals it. It might need replacing.

P. S. Actually I tried all ur suggestions.
Good brands like JBL, Oase, Eheim and Fluval are not noisy when set up properly.
They are 100% silent.
Just this cheapest ones.
