Anyone know anyway to reduce the vibration sound from my pump.. It is super loud... Can hear even when my cabinet is closed... Think my dad will nag if he hears the sound...

bro,

what you can do, I dont know if you can rectify is to use styrofoam as the base for the pump to sit on or otherwise what i can also suggest is that you go to Sim Lim Square, go to those computer shops see if they got discarded foam box which were previously used to protect the new power supply or new mobos. Just need to find the right size and perhaps slot your pump in then tada, should work bah (:

Happy Reefing,

Marc J.

Sponge??? Hmmm... Where to find? Those black ones?

My 3 pump in my sump is resting on those black sponge used as coarse filter. Pretty effective for me.

Thanks, I tried everything.. The problem is not with the pump... It is the vibration caused by the pump.. The sound is coming from the back of the cabinet and not the front which the pump is at... Worse come to worse will replace the pump...

Just found out the problem is not with the pump... Even when I on my chiller pump... There are also vibrating sound that is coming out from the rear of my cabinet.. Time to move the sump and fill up the overflow compartment with bio home or bio balls...
