SRC Member MbmC Posted October 5, 2009 SRC Member Share Posted October 5, 2009 Did you open up the pump and check if the impeller is broken? Eheims should be rather quiet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yooyoo99 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 How about putting styroform underneath the pump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member hermitcrab Posted October 6, 2009 Author SRC Member Share Posted October 6, 2009 Hmm, did not notice any rubber footing for the pump. Yes, I will put some foam under the ehiem pump, also instead of using fixed, rigid PVC piping, will use a short lenght of green flexible hose to reduce vibration to the fixed piping. Hope it will help reduce sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
