Post Penguin Bio Noise

Hey guys Im on day 2 of the cycle. My question is does the penguin 330 make a sound like coffee brewing? Never having a filter it makes you wonder if you got it setup right. Is this the normal noise for the impeller assembly?

probably that u don't have water running thro the filter so it'srunning dry..hence the sound..or it's just a bad filter.

If it's not pumping out water then it's probably because you don't have water in it. Mine did this when I first got it. You need to pour some water into the part behind the filter pad until it starts running.

If water's coming out then it's probably not a good filter! ;D

When you guys say no noise, Do you mean NO Noise

Filter Brand new. Im going to unplug tonite and double check everything. The short end of the tubing(it has these little bumps) goes into the housing correct?
