Pumps

External pumps are always more noise.
If you want it to be quiet Eheim is the most reliable and quiet, to make a quiet oferflow look up durso pipe

I had read about the flex PVC somewhere but did not know it was readily avialable. I was thinking of using it due to my poor handyman skills but sound dampening makes it a slam dunk. I was trying to think of what I could put under the pump as well. The mouse pad idea is great.

I was going to go with an external pump due to heat transfer as my condo gets warm in the summer. I deffinitly do not plan on getting a chiller but I really want this quiet. Are internal Pumps really that much quieter?

That Durso link has a much better picture then the one I posted earlier.

Thanks,

Jon
