I know it seems simple, but is the pump sitting directly on the sump glass? i put a sheet of foam insulation under my sump, then the rubber legs on the pump and you can hardly hear it anymore.

I have a piece of pvc pipe holding the pump up right now. Would a piece of styrofoam leach any chemicals into the water?

Im not entirely sure, but it would float like you wouldnt believe. It should be fairly simple to find a piece of rubber to cut to go underneath it to dampen the sound!

My girlfriend seen this wonderful powder blue tang at blue world. I was going to buy a naso but she easily changed my mind. I've had my heart set on a powder blue for quite some time but timing was never in my favor. This time I could add the fish all at once and prevent territory aggression. I also added my midas blenny but I can't get a picture of him yet.

Yellow tang showed aggression for the first day.
