Aquariums and Audio Equipment

I think there are worse ideas. Depending on the tank setup, if you use lids ect., any 18" away should not be affected by salt creep. Dedicated electrical lines solve the electrical problems. The sound stage would not be worse than having a large TV in the middle. This will not improve things..

It also depends how careful you are with water changes and cleaning. Me, I need a huge concrete slab. The biggest concern I would think would be the noise floor. Any pumps and water movement in drains ect create noise.

Weird, in various setups I have never had a problem with vibrations affecting the health of the fish.

Always thought I would but never did.

Jadem6- yea, finally found a hobby I could spend more on then fish. On the plus side audio gear usually does not just up and disappear....quit eating, get sick, melt, kill other audio gear, chase other gear out of the room...

An 80g tank really is not that large of a tank. Depending on the filtration setup, the tank could be setup very quietly. With larger tanks anytime you move thousands of gallons per hour, things can get noisy.
