Very noisy aquarium pump?
I have a power filter for my 23 gallon. It's a powerhead 620. I have to unplug that awful power filter when I'm at home. I cant hear myself think It wasn't this loud when I bought it but each time I turned it off to clean it out and then put it back together it got louder. It still pumps water through. I cant clean the impeller because it is inside the powerhead which is VERY TIGHT to take out. I have had this tank for 1 year now. Do I need to replace my powerhead?
Do aquarium pumps allow water to flow through them backwards when turned off?
I am planning on putting a water pump at the bottom of an aquarium to fill it with water. Assuming the pump is below the waterline, I am trying to figure out if the pump will allow the water to flow backwards through the pump and into the reservoir after I have turned the pump off. Or is there a one way valve within the pump to prevent that from happening???

How do you prime a non-self priming aquarium pump?
If you have a pump that can be used internally or externally, how do you prime it if it's non self priming and you are using it externally? All the diagram show is that the pump is outside the tank and lower than the water line, but how do you get the water to the pump to begin with?

AR850 Curved Glass Aquarium Pump Question?
I got the AR850 of a friend of mine, I set it all up and switched the filter on...turns out the filter is mega loud, now I'm wondering if I have done something wrong while setting it all up.This aquarium wet and dry filter system built into the hood and I did set it up the way my friend told me to do it.Still, I can't shake the feeling that I did something wrong, because I can't remember it ever being that loud.Has anybody got any ideas or could explain to me how exactly the filter is supposed to be set up?There are no instructions with the tank and I haven't been able to find anything online about it either.Any help would be greatly appreciated.
