    What is a good and aquarium safe product to use underneathe my skimmer and return pump to reduce noise/vibration?
    I've heard mouse pads, but those smell pretty bad and might leak some chemicals.

    Bulkreefsupply sells vibration pads that work pretty well, or you could try a piece of styrofoam.

    I might use some styrofoam or special non-toxic pads if I can find some.
