I couldn't wait.

I use Whisper pumps on several of my aquariums and fine them to be very
quiet, at least compared to every other brand I have tried. I suspect
you have had the misfortune of getting a defective unit and I would
exchange it for another one.

I wrote:

- ... the website where I ordered them (The Pet/Aquarium Guys).

That should have been "That Pet/Aquarium Place."

- Also, I added an air pump, but that sucker is LOUD. It's a "Whisper"
- air pump made for a 30-60 gallon aquarium.

The air pump has rubber feet and sits inside the aquarium stand/cabinet.
I'll run it for awhile when I'm at work and see if it quiets down after
some time, as one of you suggested. If it doesn't quiet down, I'll take
it back.

I have a tiny air pump for my 10-gallon aquarium and it doesn't make
much noise at all. It vibrated noisily until I put it on a dry washcloth.
Now I don't even notice it!

The purpose of the air pump, Mister Gardener, is to ensure the water is
well-aerated. I know I probably won't need one, but it makes me feel
good to have one!
