Wish I do more research before I purchase my return pump, Syncra SDC 9.0, for my new Red Sea reefer set up. I read some of the sale ad syncra is a very quiet pump. However, after installation, it emitted a constant loud annoying hum. I changed the tubing to a reinforced silicone tube directly between the pump and reefer inflow adaptor and also wrapped a silicone pad over the pump with no improvement of the noise. Wish I bought vector 2 instead!! Anyone knows a good way/trick to reduced Syncra pump noise. Please help!
