Aquarium filter arrangement with vibration isolation

A filter arrangement for an aquarium, the filter arrangement comprising:

• a) a first elastomeric dampening member;
• b) a housing assembly including a filter housing defining an interior volume within which a filter cartridge is disposed;
• c) a pump assembly including a pump disposed within a pump housing having an inlet and an outlet,
• i) the first elastomeric dampening member connecting the pump assembly and the housing assembly;
• d) a second elastomeric dampening member;
• and
• e) a transfer tube assembly having a tube structure with an inlet end and an outlet end;
• i) the second elastomeric dampening member connecting the tube structure inlet end and the pump outlet;
• the tube structure outlet end extending into the interior volume of the filter housing.
