The best stuff to use is rubber coated lead but this stuf is real $$$... it dosent corode or fall into the tank its used for sound dampining in boats with diesel engines...a trick to makeing pumps silent is to isolate them with a small piece of soft hose between pump and the monting surface... you can also buy rubber isolating washers for this as well

Tank sits on a wide pony wall, sumps in the basement and the only thing below is the CL pump and 4 way so humidity isn't a problem. Pump (Dart) and plumbing is isolated but still getting a little noise.

It's fairly quiet now just want to go the extra bit and thought the panels would probably be the way to go since don't have a lot of clearance for batting. Had been thinking acoustic ceiling tiles until I seen the Soundstop.

And Lando, get working on that tank, looks like you have some great waiting.
