trilinearmipmap is on a distinguished road

1. Closed-cell foam (the same as for a backpacking mattress) underneath the sump.

2. Closed-cell foam underneath the return pump.

3. Connect the return pump to the pvc pipe with a length of flexible hose.

My Mag 12 return pump has been silent this way for years.
