fish and bass

[jammerz]

im thinking about puttin a 75 gallon tank in my DJ room. i already have a 10g FW and the music doesnt seem to bother them. How will SW fish react to the music?Speaker will probably only be like 3ft away from tank. FWI i have concrete floors...

Will this be to stressful on them, any experiences

i would think the vibrations would be stressfull for any fish.....

the vibrations may cause hemmoraging in the brain of the fish. this is why you're not suppose to bang yoru fingers against a fishtank.

electromagnetic field in the tank...mhh...this is why people use probes.

Vibrations would be the only thing to worry about, Sound really doesn't enter the water at all.

I dont get it bro please explain.

Voltage can enter our aquariums by several means, one of the most common is induction. Induction is the process by which an electric current, an electric charge, or a magnetism is produced by the proximity of an electric or magnetic field (EMF).

Speakers emits EMF.

The ground probe is just basically a safety that eliminates stray voltage because it's grounded in an electric plug

how big is your magnet behind your speaker ? I just realise that i do have some 30W ( output ) PLB speakers next to my tank..almost 3' away like yours and have no probs.
But since you said "D.J. Room" usually it's big and nasty speakers...so considering that a couple of "not grounded" powerheads, skimmers, halides can emits stray voltage and can bother some fishies then it might be possible that your speakers will do some damage.

yer a pimp dude. Thanks for the knowledge.
pretty big speakers, but relativly(sp?) small magnets.
where could i buy a ground probe at?

I would worry about the vibrations, sound dosen't really bother fish.

Ive had my tank next to speakers for years now. it doesnt seem to effect anything at all. ive actually had a subwoofer with like 15 lbs worth of magnets in it 10 ft. from the tank for years also. my tanks have always been fine with it. and most normal speakers are EMF blocking because it can mess with tvs and other things like that. i would say iots ok, but if there is any other place it could go i would advise you to put it there instead

thanks for the input everyone

Ive played electric guitar with a tank in the same room, nothing happened so far

 

[KahluaZzZ]

it can take a year to kill stuff when there's always electricity in the tank, so i think playing guitar isn't really a menace. I play quite a lot and no probs too
