hi. i run a 6 foot by 3 foot tank in my listening room. the tank is tropical set up and has three power filters keeping the water clean. the power pumps are housed in cabinets below the tank. they are fluval pumps so by no means top of the range, but work very well. the pumps do generate some noise. to reduce the output noise from the cabinet i have lined the inside of the cabinets with polystyrene sheets and this has helped to keep the noise very low. i also check for air in the filters which increse noise levels. in any case the noise is not that much, but it is noticeable when the room is quiet. it is good to avoid air stones and such as theire pumps are cheap and very noisy, unless you get a wheel type pump which are very expensive.
Stereo and Fish tanks - noisy need help
I have recently added a 240 gallon freshwater tank in my listening room and it looks incredible. However it is very noisy and has taken away alot of the musical enjoyment. Is there anyone out there that is running a fish tank in their listening room? Is it quiet? What equipment are you using? Any feedback would to helpful!
