I cant remember if your return lines are over the top or if they are drilled???....if they are drilled, then I wouldnt "suspend" the return pump.....the pump vibration coupled with the weight of the pump and plumbing hanging from it could over time cause the bulkhead hole to fail and crack....best and easiest to go with a piece of dampening foam or rubber under the pump imho....
They are over the edge. The tank I bought only had a corner overflow. It was through one of the forum members, that the plumbing was all set, and we were able to have it go over the top. I'm going to give it a go with the foam tonight and the rest of the set up and see if it makes a difference.
