Do you think gluing the pvc sleeve to the front of the pump and slipping that into the bulkhead (no margnets) would work? Seems like that might be even more quiet?

I thought about that, but when you look at the magnetic holder it has rubber pads to stop the vibration from turning your whole tank into a tuning fork. I think if you were to make it all one solid piece as the pump turned on and off it would jump just a little as the all do but then because the bulkhead is directly on the glass with no rubber barrier 100% around it on all sides i think it would end up making a lot of noise and eventually hurt either the pump or the glass.
