Either way I would live with it looking at a build like that!
Noise and DC pump doesn't really co-exists

With everything in a cabinet that is going to be sound proofed and the fact that DC pump are so silent that I have to put my ear to the one I have running now on my 165 I dont think there is going to be a whole lot of noise at all.

Currently run three speedwaves/wavelines and you can definitely hear them, they were pretty quiet at first but now are the noisiest part of the fish room. I run them internal as well so something to be aware of for sure but a minor issue none the less.

My waveline on the 165 has been running for almost a yr now and is still a quite as the day I put it on line but I also clean it once a month as well.

Well after a long day I preceded to get the sump finished after supper, the wife is second guessing herself now in telling me to build it in the house but its to late now. Just have to hook everything back up and finish the little bit of plumbing and its ready for a water test.

Cut out some holes in some acrylic for the filter sock and finished up the baffles

Thanks Stacey but it would look really good with a custom white cabinet front made by a expert carpenter
