As for one pump failing when you are away, you should use a pair of float switches, with one set to shut down the pump if the water level in the sump gets too low, and the other set to shut down the pump if the water level in the sump gets too high.

silent wont matter. I plan to put insulation and soundboard in the walls of the support room anyway. You would have me place float switches in the sump, makes sense. should I run pipes/tubes from pumps to sump as well or from the display tank?
