So if any of you are getting the 223X series, or Eccos, just bear this it in mind that it is not the problem of your particular cannister. Thanks everyone for trying to help!! Thanks!

Do you still get the rattling noise when the canister is running ? It should not have noise, else it will be a design defect .

I never have any rattling sound. The filter only gives out this sound when the inlet is not in water. The only sound this filter is giving out, is an occassion minute sound of water flow due to the space inside.

my problem with this model is the power.. it will be powerful after I give it a overflow method everyweek (though releasing some dirt into the tank which I will change water, so nevermind)..

but over the week, somehow some air got in and the water output becomes weaker which affect my CO2 induction (using internal reactor powered by water output)..

Really tempted to apply a coating of silicon gel all over which is easily removed when I want to clean the filter..

Wow, a coat of silicon, that sounds a big project to me. Did not know that this series have this problem until now. It is good that we bring this up, and the rest of you can know some of the issues involved. Anyway, for me, since it is like this, I no longer has to make a mess out of everything. I can rest my mind assured, and let it run as it is. No choice right?

Maybe the lower flow rate is ideal for your shrimp tank.

if u start it up with no water, it will create some noise as the pump is working slight harder to fill up the cannister with water.. once it is filled up, the noise shld stop.. if noise persist, try start up with the cannister filled with water and see if there is noise.. if there is noise, then u may want to strip the pump and check if there is some stuffs causing the noise.. otherwise, it shld be purring like a cat after starting up, even tilting it side to side and even giving it a hard tap by the side..
