ive got this pump...

in here...

the vibration is so loud is resonates through my desk.

i have the foam pad on the bottom of the pump and a bit of foam as well.

would this bracket help to stop the vibration's ?

also if anyone has any idea's on where to put the pump would also be helpfull.

apart from that it all sound's pretty quiet.

went from this set up...

You could try suspending it maybe?

any ideas people as this is driving me nuts !

Are there any airlocks in the pump?
This would not help. Failing that, suspend from bungee is the best way.

no air at all,had the pump running for 4 days before i put the rest of the pc in.

is suspending the only option.

this is so loud and driving me nuts.

Suspending is the best option in my opinion as this will make it completely silent.

I tend to hang pumps off the tubing I'm pumping water through.

What would you suggest to use to suspend the pump ?

Hair bands. Some people use them to suspend their hard drives, they work great apparently
