I live in a 1 bedroom apartment and since this will be the first time I will have a stable residence for a few years, I want to setup a 75g saltwater tank. I would have to go in my living room, which happens to also house a fairly respectable home theater system. While I do not have a subwoofer out of consideration to my neighbors, the system still moves a lot of air down to about 35Hz. (2x Klipsch RF-82II, RC-62II, 2x RS-52II)
The apartment management said a 75 gallon tank would be fine, so that is not a concern, but it would have to be situated adjacent to the prime listening zone, and within about 2 feet of one of the surround speakers. Basically, it would be just outside the direct axis of one of the front speakers. While I have read that some fish do not do well in a noisy environment, I have not been able to find any information as to exactly what that means. Would a few hours per day of watching television, and a movie or two per week cause major stress for the fish? Or, would it be more akin to them just being slightly annoyed? I dont want to get a tank if I will be putting the fish into an environment that is in any way unsafe for them.
