I was given a 40gal tank with sump, oversized skimmer, hang-on-the-back of the tank thingy that uses a plug in electrical pump to move the water down to the sump.
I used to have a JBJ 24ga nano tank and it was quiet.
For reasons I don't want to get into, I sleep on the couch at night. My tank is in the living room. Between the pump in the sump, the skimmer, the water from the hang-on-back thingy......the tank is really loud.
Any suggestions on how to quiet it down a bit? My LFS told me to put a sponge like material on the pump in the sump.
And drilling the tank is not an option since I already have fish and live rock and I just don't want to deal with it.
Are there any alternative hang-on-the-back thingys that I could buy that would be a bit quieter or?
thanks
