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!

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,

Marty

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.
