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!

Yes, I've had a tank for ages, although it's only a 40 gallon; it has an air pump and filter. I place these plastic bags from the grocery store with a little air in them under the pump to absorb vibration and the filter is a "Whisper filter". After some experimentation you'll work it out.

There is nothing better than an aquarium and beautiful music.
Runmeshaw does, but I don't see any filters running

I only have a 75 gallon tank in my listening room, but it's dead quiet with the Eheim canister filter I use. Not sure if Eheim makes canister filters large enough for a tank as large as yours, but maybe Johnsonwu can speak to that.
I had a 200 gal Saltwater tank.
I made an overflow that had about 2-3 1" tubing that drained to my to my basement.
From the basement I did all the filteration, areation, heating, bifiltering, skimming etc.
The water from the upstairs tank drained into 2 PVC tubs that held about 30 gallons each. Each tub was plumbed to each other. From there I ran the tank water over Bio media with air pumping through the bio media. I had a huge Protein skimmer that cleaned the water in the tubs and submersible heaters.
From there I had I think it was, a little giant saltwater tank that pumped about 800 gallons per hour. The return went into the upstairs tank via a 1" tubing and with a 90 degree elbow spliiled into the tank. the tank was fitting with a fairly tight glass with just one end open for the overflow, tubing etc.
It was quite quiet.
A freshwater tank would be even easier to set up.
Agreed, a canister type of filter like Eheim can be very quiet if maintained.
Also under gravel filters depending on how the tube feed is supplied.
I didn't see any mention of what you're using.
Fresh or saltwater? My big salt water tank was dead quiet. And went on for years and years til I moved...
Good luck... Easy to sort.
