Also, with that port open to draw water, you will get excessive salt creep in the venturi port where the silicone air tubing connects to the nozzle.
I just tried both options that you suggested. I do not see a difference in the vibration noise. If I put my DC180 in the same sump it is dead quiet. I can email you a short video if you want.
