Stereo and Fish tanks - noisy need help

You might call the guys at Eminent Technology in Florida. Their air-bearing tonearm uses (IIRC) an air pump and they have done some work around this specific issue.

Good Luck,

Between the two (Fluval & Eheim), the Eheim is supposed to be the best.

I'm sure that the fish are very pretty, but I have to wonder if besides pump noise, is putting such large sheets of reflective glass the best idea for an audio room?

It is rather obvious, just turn off the filters when you are listening to music. Assuming you listen less then eight hours a day, the fish will still be fine.

Buconero, a well-meaning suggestion; but completely wrong I am afraid. A filter not only oxygenates water, but is also the home of beneficial bacteria which convert ammonia into nitrate; a process that is essential. The bacteria take many days to colonize the filter, and only minutes to start dying after the filter is turned off and are denied oxygen. Not a good idea.
