Er.... wat is SPS and Frag? I am new in marine aquarium. I am having a 5' x 2' x 2.5' tank (just set up). I am intending to use 2 nos of 150W 20k mh, does it means that it is not enough?

Well, I don't really mean that the humming sound is very loud. It is just that it is audible especially at night. Talking about air in the pump, how do you get the air out? I placed my pump inside the sump itself and the water level is much higher than the pump, is there a possibility that air get in? However I have tried a few times, shutting down the pumps to do some adjustments and the backflow is quite significant and bubbles can be seem coming out of the pumps. Is this the reason why the pump is humming?

I simply placed the eheim pump on the base of the sump. I am thinking of getting some filter wool and placed it underneath the pump so that some damping is achieved. Even so, I think some humming sound can still be heard. Anything to placed at the surrounding (walls of the cabinet) to absorb the sound? Thanks.

Hi all. I have just setup my marine tank and I am having 2 new Eheim pumps (model 1260 & 1262) that draw water from my sump up into the main tank. The vibrating sounds from the 2 pumps are quite annoying and I can even hear it in my bedroom. My sump is located within the cabinet. Is there any ways to screen off this vibrating sounds? Thank you.
