Man I'd hate to wake up to a tank exploding right by my face as I laid sleeping lol. I'm curious to see how you are using it as your beds headboard? Pics please sounds like a cool idea

thats what i was thinking
 
Use something like this in the overflow http://www.championlighting.com/home.php?cat=735 . This is supposed to make it silent. Then use a sump and try to tuck it in the headboard so its enclose (but still vented). Or remote locate the sump to the next room over (if its in a closet maybe) or somewhere else in the room.

Also get a rubber sheet for the first few weeks because there might still be a little sound of splashing water lol
 
well i've already got an aquarium in the bedroom so we're used to hearing a little water splashing but i'm just nervous as to what it's gonna sound like right by our heads...
 
I'd just go with a couple large canister filters, they are usually very quiet. However, I speak from personal experience... it sucks ass to get a mouthful of tank water when you are asleep because your CK needed to get air. Well, it was either that or I accidentally hit the tank when I was asleep. Needless to say I do not have a tank any where near me now when I am asleep.
