Yes loud clanking noise. Very loud.

For some reason mine does the same thing every time I mess with it and plug it back in. It only does is for a few seconds. Try to unplug it and plug it back in. Other than that make sure its put together correctly. The impeller shaft has a little black piece that has to lign up with the white impeller. If it doesn't work I can try to take a picture of the impeller.

Sure will, thank you for the info, I am stuck at work so I will do that when I get home.

Did a Google search and found that this noise at start up is normal. Well kinda. Its a design flaw. The noise should only last for a little bit. If its making noise for longer than that they say to make sure the prop shaft is centered in the output cover.

Ok, hopefully it is gone before I get home, no way I can leave that on while the turts are trying to sleep.

I know that it stayed loud for at least 45 minutes this morning, then I had to leave for work. I took it apart once to check it and it seemed right.

My wife moved the bubbler away and said that seemed to help a little.

It seems to have gotten a bit better. The good news is that I measured the turts today.

Lea - 2.75 inches

Mikey - 2.0 Inches

They are the same age.

Little fellows. How is the pump doing?

It got better. It is silent now. May get a second one in the future. It is strong enough to push the water from one end of the tank to the other so I think it is mixing the water pretty well. It blew Lea to the middle of the tank last night, :oops:

. It didn't seem to bother her any though.

Pits? Pit bulls? Nah, I am a German Shepard guy, but currently we have 3 black cats, 2 turtles, some kind of rat dog, and 3 real kids.
