I recently purchased the IM 25 Lagoon AIO. After setup when I turned on the return pump there was a very noticable vibration that sounded like it was coming from the stock pump. I called BRS and spoke with someone who told me that another person in the building had a IM 25 Lagoon and had the same problem with the pump vibration. His suggestion was to purchase the Sicce silent 1.5, as it was much more quiet than the stock pump. I purchased the Sicce pump and when I installed it there was no difference as the vibration noise was the same. I called Innovative Marine and was told that the pump had to be sitting up against the acrylic wall and that was the problem. He also advised their DC pump which did not vibrate like an AC pump. I wrapped the pump in foam and there was just a slight lessening of vibration. When I put the pump in a bucket of water, the pump was silent.
My question is, has anyone had this problem and or is the DC pump the way to go?
