Aquariums and Audio Equipment


I'm dying to shift my audio equipment closer to one one side and center a 80 gallon reef aquarium between my revel studios. However, I'm getting nervous about the potential problems this may present (flourescent bulbs, potentially noisy pumps, caustic salt water, bubbling of jets, etc). Anyone have experience with mixing aquariums with audio equipment?

Salt? You mean from splashing? Certainly evaporation that boosts humidity can be a good thing in the winter months, and siad vapor is indeed salt-free, so it's ok.
If you put the tank at least a few feet behind the speaker plane you won't damage the imaging too much.
I sit in an 8' nearfield triangle two feet in front of my Steinway (angled back to help with non-perpendicular lines), and the stage is 20' deep!).
DO keep the lights and pump on the OTHER AC leg....but what about the gurgling? And don't you listen with your eyes closed? Maybe fish ARE fun? Hmmm....I'll stick to the Steinway.
