What to put under an external pump.
Just wondering what some others are using underneath external pumps to keep them from making too much noise. I have tried mouse pads and foam, both work ok but I can still feel the pump vibration in the stand and floor (I have hardwood floors so that makes it difficult to keep noises down).
Wanted: to set up a tank again.

I am trying to get it installed soon. That is one of the reasons for this question. It is 2" in and 1.5" out. I didn't realize that until I opened the box. The larger Reefflo's are 1.5" in and out. 2 inches is a huge pipe. I just replumbed mt Mag 12 with 1.25 and it helped some with the noise but want to use an external return pump (Gen X) for heat reasons.
