I just installed an Aqua UV sterilizer with a Sicce 2.0 pump on my Red Sea reefer. Sicce pumps are reliable but the pump is noisy/ vibration noise , my tank was always quiet. Any recommendations for a quiet/ reliable pump for a UV that has same GPH 500 - 600, maybe a DC pump?

Pump shouldn't be loud. Is it fully submerged? Is it touching glass that's carrying the vibrations?

It’s fully submerged it goes to my uv it’s transmitting vibration to the uv. I used a vinyl hose I read on here other people using a 4 inch silicone hose in between the pump and vinyl hose to get rid of the vibration/ humming noise. Ordered it from BRS should work the vinyl hose is pretty rigid.
