I have a DCT 3000 and when I installed it it had a very annoying whine to it. I can hear it in nearly all my rooms. I contacted fish street and they said the DCT wasn't the silent one and is normal. I ended up putting the aqua one back in. Anyone else had this?Nice price, i may get a dc3000 as a backup/spare for my tunze
Doesn't sound right to me. My 12000 starts making a little noise near full power. My 6000 in my skimmer is very quiet on full power.I have a DCT 3000 and when I installed it it had a very annoying whine to it. I can hear it in nearly all my rooms.

I have the 7000DCS and it twists and clips together without the bolts, but it does have the metal C clip. I'll have to keep an eye on it.I am about to install my new return pump - I actually purchased it over a year ago but haven't got around to using it :rolleyes
I noticed some screws on the housing and a circlip on the front of the impeller - has anyone had any issue with these rusting?

Yeah my girlfriend couldn't sleep she reckoned. Better a low hum from AC pump then that whine, my coral box is silent also.I was having a whining noise problem with my 6000DCT and bit the bullet and ordered the 7000DCS, which I was assured by Fish Street to be silent. Keeping the DCT as a backup.
The 7000DCS is just as loud. It's running at about 3/4 speed and the whining can be heard 2 rooms away.
This isn't going to be any good when I move to the apartment soon. The wife will have my guts for garters.
I wish the pump was as quiet as the one in their Coral Box Skimmer, it's dead silent.
So I'm looking around for something else for the return pump - really don't feel like forking out for the Tunze Silent, but may have to.
I am away from home for a few days but will send an email to Fishstreet on the weekend. There is no rust evident on any of the screws.I'll have to pull mine down and take a look see. I haven't seen any rust in mine. Send those pics to Eric so he can send them to the factory. I know the screws haven't rusted on any of mine.
