MP40WQD question

[Eric23]

I bought an MP40qd used off someone bit they didn't have the spacers anymore. I have a 3 foot tank with 1/4 inch acrylic and I'm getting some vibration. Are the spacers or gasket necessary ?

Yes the thickness spacers as the call them arexa important part of the pump.
If you have 1/4 inch thickness you need the large spacer.
You can order them at
Ecotech Marine.

No, just some noise for the moment.
Set it on a lower setting for the time being or place a rubber pad between dryside and acrylic
