Tank in Home Theatre / Music Room
Will listening to a movie or playing music at occasionally moderate to high volumes (spl) be detrimental to a mixed reef tank?
What about practicing drums to music, although possibly not in the same room. |

Depends on if you are good or not)))
Fish feel vibrations. The stress might be too great. |

You may want to think about the reverse. Aquariums aren't completely silent and will that disturb your movie watching.

If you play at the right frequency, you can actually cause vibrations in the glass and shatter the entire tank.

yes noise/vibrations can effect all marine organisms leading to behavioral changes,etc....
To what extent your specific case will have is very difficult if not impossible to quantify.. http://www.advancedaquarist.com/blog...rive-for-quiet https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4626970/ https://www.nature.com/articles/srep20540 etc...

Drum kit will likely NOT be n the same room as tank.
It is not like we will be watching movies at 110db, music on the other hand could reach fairly high db levels for short amounts of time. |

My concern is the OCCASIONAL cranking up of The Who, Rush, Zeppelin, Zappa, Weather Report, King Crimson, etc.... . My wife and daughter will probably be annoyed, in the short term, so it not like an entire album would be played at "11". |

FWIW... I quite often am rocking out around my fish tank..
If they are permanently damaged by that I wouldn't know it.. Now I once got a cease and desist letter from my Kole tang when that silly Justin Bieber/spanish song was accidentally allowed to play for longer than 10 seconds as I was running full steam to flip to the next song..

I have my tank sitting right next to my rather robust stereo system that may, on occasion, get cranked up louder than many people would consider to be at a comfortable listening level (others would consider it just right) and have never had any adverse effects on either my tank or any of its inhabitants... |

I'm glad I happened onto this thread..
1.... Because I was wondering the same thing about my darling husband and his Mesa amplifier possibly disturbing the tank. There will be no stopping the awesomeness that comes from those heavy metal fingers (lol) 2. It is highly entertaining. I almost feel at if I just listened to music at a high volume and watched a movie all at once. Kudos. Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Yeah, prior Army, and work on MCB Camp Lejeune now. "HMFIC Customs" is something I started for Android-based Mustang stereos with CANBUS integration. First thing that came to mind when I was filling out my business license info.

Remember those commercials in the 70s where the female opera singer would shatter a glass with her voice? She would be dangerous to have over for dinner if you had a reef tank lol

OMG! I was young, that is my only excuse. It was Ella shattering the class! I remembered just a random singer and thought it was opera. I am so sorry Ella! I am so ashamed.
Ella shattering class with her voice commercial for 1972. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YG8K0yl4_hc |

Good to know about crankin' the stereo on occasion. It is also good to know that Kole Tangs have enough sense to alert one to less than desirable, ahemm "music". |
