Tunze DOC 9004 DC skimmer noise levels

[iceman14555]

Hello all,

I just got a Tunze 9004 DC, I know it needs to break in for 2 weeks or so, but it's already doing great and is miles ahead of the other skimmer I was using. That being said, is the noise in this video normal for this skimmer?

I gave this unit a shot - Not thrilled with it. Much happier with icecap.
the motor never sits correct making that noise

I removed my icecap, because it was just not working for this tank. Way too finicky. This one is also quieter, even with this noise.

So do I need to open it up and reposition the motor?
