Steve, don't know if this helps, but I used holes for 1" bulkheads and stepped it down to 3/4" tubing for the GenX. Schedule-40 1" bulkheads require a 1 - 3/4" hole.

I have mine sitting on a mouse pad and the plumbing is the clear flexi hose so any kind of vibration might be absorbed. When the stand door is closed I don't hear much of it.

Sorry to hear yours is a bit loud... Honestly mine is one of the smaller contributers to the "tank noise" phenomenon I have going... the fans are the worst.

Rasta, I think he means he got 6 ft. for EACH pump. I think it should work. I told him about the 2 pads and duct tape trick, but he didn't like that.

Home depot would only sell it in running feet the width of the roll, sence the roll was 6 foot wide......

I might try using it to line the stand as a sound proofing in areas to help cut down on the noise also.
