I'm just getting water into my 40 gal. tank and will be putting in the sand and live rock tomorrow. I put the powerhead (Via Aqua 480) in the tank last night to make sure it works. Well, it works, but I"ve got one kind of annoying problem. The thing vibrates when it is suction cupped on to any side of the tank or even gets close to the sides of the tank. If I suspend it by the power cord in the center of the tank or hold it by hand it's quiet as can be. Does anybody know if this will change once I get the tank full of water (currently 15 gallons in) and/or add the sand or rock?
Can't really hear it with other stuff going on in the room, but at night or other quiet situations it is very evident and kind of annoying.
