Mag 24 Question

[L8ndeb]

Hi All,

Just got a Danner Mag24 for a return pump. It did not come with a slide on "foot" or foam pad that my Mag12 can with. I do see an area on the 24 that looks like a slide on would fit. Was something missing out of the box? Are these accessories I can by?

TIA

Anyone?

You can use a mouse pad as a base,

Thanks Sean for the suggestion. I was hoping for something a little more OEM. Do you know if a stand/foam is available for this size pump through Danner/Pondmaster? I did not see anything on their website.

Are you wanting to run this externally or in sump?

 

[L8ndeb]

My last tank had a Mag12 externally connected. Due to space limitations on the new tank cabinet, this one will run in the sump.

Then a simple pad will be the easiest, most cost effective, solution.

I don't know of any retailers who just sell an OEM part for that.
You can always contact the manufacturer directly.

Yeah, tried that already. No response. Thanks anyway.

I've called Danner and they sent me the anti-vibration pad for free. Also, as a fail safe, I placed a cut out of egg crate under as well, since my sump is made of glass. Best of luck.

noisy....noisy....noisy.... put a mouse pad or two under it & use flexible pipe to reduce the noise as much as possible. I hear my mag 24 (or is it a 36) 15ft away & it's submerged in a pond

mine also didn't come with any mounting stuff.......

Steve,

Looks like I will make the call. Thanks.

Viggen,

How much louder can it be than a Mag12? Had that as an external in a setup. I found it tolerable with padding. Thanks for the advice on flex tubing. I had planned on hard piping the whole thing.

L8ndeb - I moved up from a Mag 9.5 to a 12 to a 18. No noise difference whatsoever. I was using it in the sump as well.
