New Pump and New Plumbing

[Weicowireman]

Hey Guys,
Just upgraded my external pump to the new Reeflo Swordtail and I must say this pump kicks butt and takes names. Very quiet bit it does have a humm to it. I have found the hum came up my plumbing vibrating so I put little pieces of rubber behind where it would be touching wood. Take a look and let me know what you guys think.

Thanks everyone. This is my 2nd time I plumbed a tank. I have certainly learned from my mistakes. I am really loving this pump so far. Super quiet and moves alot of water. The only downfall I see is that the pump runs a little hot. I have installed another fan to help cool the pump down.. Other then that I have absolutely zero complaints..

Thanks Mike NY for steering me in the right direction.

Thanks. So far so good.

Looks great! I have always tried to run a section of soft line, maybe 3-4" between my pump and where I start my hard pipe. Cuts down on vibration and when you go to work on the system, it helps make things easier, too.

I would hate to cut it now but maybe with a soft piece of tubing it will help the hum I have..
