Sound absorption panels for unside stand??

[banditpowdercoat]

Has anyone experimented with sound absorbing panels fro inside the stand? Just got a Aqua C Urchin skimmer, and with the Drain(durso is quiet but bubbles in sump are not) Was thinking of somehting to deaden the sound? My stand is MDF thats covered in black plastic veneer which makes it echo and sound louder...

What you all use? Brand names so I can go to Rona and get some

Thx in advance

Never did, but have thought about lining the inside of my stand with ceiling acoustic tiles, the 2x4' size that are used for t-bar ceilings. Would cut easy for fitting.

I don't have the sump below the stand (just CL pump) but if did and was worried about moisture, could glue the glass side to the stand and have the plastic side facing out and join edges with Tuck-tape

i've used them in computers. Don't bother, I think. Our pumps produce similar noise signatures to computer fans and that noise proofing doesn't solve it. It only made computer cases super heavy.

kwirky, was it the fiber glass panels or the cellulose type?

i use celfort. the hard pink styrofoam from revy or windsor. it comes in 2+8 sheets. works decent
