Oh, sorry didn't pay attantion to the name.
yes give it some time to quiet down, also hard piping will transfer vibes up to the stand/tank, i had it on flex pipe on the output and rubber foam under that came with the pump.
I Used to drive ETS 700 skimmer with this Mag18.

Cool, Ya its flex line to manifold, but pump is inside display tank acctually. Inside the overflow. So maybe thats makin it sound louder LOL

Wow ! Mag 18 inside the over flow... there are truly no tank is the same!
You got me thinking now .. how long is the intake pipe ? Could it cavitie because of lack of supply water?

The intake is the stock thing that you had on. The pump is restng on bottom of tank on the foam that you had on. Overflow is approx 20" high with 1/2" drop in water. I'll try to upload a vid for the noise.

that sounds ok if you have only strainer on intake and there is enough water on top of the pump to get enough flow to the intake you will be fine.
let it run in salt water to develop bucterial film this will quiet it down.
