I don't think you can stop the dance, just lessen the steps.
The only way I could ever get my 1250 to be as quiet as I wanted was to set up a remote reservoir made of a 5 gallon pail, and then (this really chapped my behinds) I found that I still had to suspend the thing with silicone straps as the entire bucket would hum if I let the pump set on the bottom, or set on foam in the bottom, or.....you get the idea????
It is large enough and heavy enough along with the vibrations that quieting that beast down is a chore.

Wow make me glad I dint pop for a Ehiem:D
That little Max-jet seems fine and is very quiet. The 172mm fan however needs Rheostat and a manly man to tame LOL.

Anyone seen my cat?
