It's kind of funny how many people have come over to pick up this frag or that macroalgae and say how QUIET our place is with the three tanks (37g, 67g, 120g). The noisiest thing in our place is, well, me
Yeah, we're very low tech over here, but can't the high tech people figure out ways to make their tanks quiet? Not that I'm knocking high tech, or anything. Each person has their own idea of how they want their reefs to operate. Ours just happen to be low tech and lots of hands on, which may not be for everybody.
Are there reef gurus out there that have high tech reefs without the noise factor? If so, how does do you set up a reef and have it quiet without building an extra room?

You will also have to consider the high humidity factor in your closed back room. There was one recent post about this important consideration, probably in the Reef forum.
