 I have to put my hand on top of it to make sure it is still working.

try using some of that pink styro that you put under your tank to level it. Might help the noise too if the rattling is any way related to the floor.

Pacific Coast had some issues with the fan motor (including mine). It rattled like crazy. If leveling doesn't stop it, put some heavy weight oil on the fan motor bearings. If this quiets it down, then you have a bad motor.(the silence won't last)
