I m not familiar with this product. However, the best advice I would give is to contact whoever sold it to you to try and resolve the problem

It does it for mine and the one at work. Pound on the top till it stops, that always fixes it=/

Could it just be that the fans are needing to be replaced? If you have a warranty you might try that approach.

We had a 14 gallon bio cube that did the same thing (among other problems). After replacing the ballast(sp) the manufacturer replaced the entire top. That fixed the buzzing problem we had.

Personally, I'm not a fan of bio cubes at all. I had one of the ballast go out, the top replaced, and the second ballast go out. All within 4 months. That tank is now sitting in the garage.

My 14 gal bio cube does that too. It eventually stops but it's annoying as heck. Sometimes turning the lights off then back on helps....but rarely.

Could it be from salt creep?

Mine's done that from brand new.

But after taking it off (the top) i opened it and checked everything since i am kinda of a computer and tech dude i noticed the fans did have a lot of dust so i cleaned them and i also noticed the fans are small and that i think the way they put it in was bad i did two tricks turned of the lights for 20 -25 min and it stooped and 5 min later my dad put the back cover down to hard and i was like psh and hit it in the middle the problem with hitting it it might crack the plastic so ya this is my first fish tank and no way will i get rid of it.. Thanks for you help everyone!! =) =)
