Bedroom Tanks??

[levi1803]

I like mine being in my room, so my roommate can't see me looking into it at night with my blue flashlight and my yellow glasses lol. I'm not bothered by noise at all though, but have a feeling some of the noises might bother people. Don't get a pistol shrimp if it does, trust me on that one.

I couldn't stand the noise of one in my bedroom, so no bedroom tank for me.

I've been considering one...and frankly I'm pretty sure we're going to. 75 gallon display with herbie style overflows, 30 gallon sump with a 20 gallon fuge. T5 lighting...strictly LPS

herbie, eheim return and a tunze nano skimmer.. hardly a hum

My 180 FOWLR is in my bedroom. I have a pistol in there, too. I like it. It snaps a couple of times every hour?...hour and a half? Never timed it. As for the other noises....you get used to it. Except for when something is outa whack. Like the impeller on one of the MaxiJets I have running. Need to replace that soon.

Pleasant dreams ,

Yeah I kind of like listening to the pistol make his little noises, that's the only way I know he's still in there actually, never see the little bugger.

Had my nano in my room before I moved. I liked to look at it before I went to bed.

I thought about it, but I'm a really light sleeper so in the end had my second tank in my home office.

i had my 55gal in my room with canister filter, air pump 2 koralia ph's and u get used to the sound fast..

but with a sump and fuge and all the pumpage / water movement im pretty sure it would be too loud IMO..

I'm pretty sure that with a herbie system and a well designed sump and stand the noise wouldn't be too much of a problem. I usually fall asleep while the other half watches tv so I know the noise wouldn't bother me....and usually the tv is on in the morning when I wake up so I'd assume it doesn't bother him either...
