Any blonde Naso coming?

The box i mention is nothing more than a cardboard box that I cut to fit in between the pump and stand to block the sound through the vent holes in the stand. The cutout box does not block the airflow of the fan. It helped with the sound alot.

I do have spaflex on my tank connecting to the Iwaki pump after i bought the use pump. It helped but like I said. I believe its the fan. Hunter you are correct when we are at the store it was dead quite. When I got home and hooked it up it was also dead quite with a slight minimum humming from...

Damn thanks you all for the input. I have lifted the pump off the stand and it was still making the humming noise. I knew when I ask my lady did it help. She gave me the devil eye meaning #$%^ i still hear it. I folded a towel and put it under the pump to help with the vibration from the tank...

Went to obd and got a use iwaki md40. Had a prior md40 making same amount of noise and thought was bearing. I think it's the fan in the back. I have a covered patio in the back so planning to put pump in back. Planning to drill hole in floor and run 1" plumbing for drain and return.

I was planning to get a chiller later. But the sound currently is too loud. I have put a rubber bad underneath the pump but still making fan noise. Adjusted the drain and output valve with no change in noise. Been running for 24 hrs still same. Outside plumbing?

I am thinking about making a enclosed box with sound damping material also with airport to cool the pump. Has any done this? Other option is to drill floor and run pump outside. Any1 done this also?

Got a new pump and still loud. Thinking about plumbing under the house!!!

Thank you every1 for all the help so far. I will redo the plumbing and see if I can get it quieter. If I cant HUNTER01975 I might have to drop by. Wish me luck.

Since I am redoing the connection between the sump and the pump I am going to add a ball valve to make life easier.

I will redo the plumbing and see but when I lift it off the stand there was still a humming sound.

I have the rubber piece that came with the pump underneath. But When I lift the pump up it still made noise. Think the pump might be bad. Just alot of vibration.

I just started cycling my tank and finally turn the pump on. But boy that dam Iwaki pump is buzzing like a bumble bee. Any1 have any suggestions? Looking for an external pump that I cant even notice it is there. thanks.

Now all I need is some good live rocks to start cycling my tank.

Thank Mfinn for all the help. Do appreciate it

Or will it just decompose?

Its on almost every rock. If it comes back alive with the proper water would it die? Would a tang eat it or any critters?

Here is a pic

There is no critters out there that will eat it? Peppermint shrimp, emarald crab, snails, ???? Should I add critters to cycle a tank?
