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!

CFs are not as quiet as LEDs.
CFs tend to make 12ax7 preamps hum.
Find a Hagen or Aquatraders LED canopy.
Cool and quiet.

For that size tank don't buy eheim or fluval look into Ocean Clear canisters they will handle the largest of aquariums. I've had mine for over 15 years.
Available at That Fish Place or Drs. Foster and Smith. You select he size pump for your tank. They are super quiet and never break.

I have worked for some of the largest fish stores in the world in the last 30 years and have 1000 gallons of fish tanks in my basement now. I'm something of a cichlidophile.
