Additionally, maybe you could put the pump on some neoprene or something to absorb the noise? Line the stand with something (carpet? too ghetto?) to absorb more noise?
Its Flex PVC already and I have a few layers carpet Underpad under the pump. Its quite loud. Loud enough that watching TV with it on is annoying. The floor under the stand is vibrating and Im sure would **** off the people downstaris eventually...It ****ed me off after about 10 minutes.

I may try some of your suggestions but I think we may get rid of the pump all together and go back to powerheads. Im not sure though what I would do with the bulkheads though...I guess just plug them???
