No I am not sure why but the mic on that camera is mega sensitive, it's not loud at all. The fish don't even notice it's moving.

Oh that's easy. Timers, float switches and pumps LOL

One pump to pump out the old water, another one activated by a float switch inside your tank to pump water in from a makeup bucket. For your makeup water you would need a bucket, a motorized unit to dump salt in once the bucket is empty and another float switch to add water to the bucket after the salt was dumped in. Finally a timer to turn on the powerhead and heater.


Easy as pie LOL
