Life and the fish tank...

AquaKnight · 01/13/2007, 01:55 AM

Well, my established tank is doing great and all, but I had some questions, about the involvement with our tank and life. The tank is situtated in the corner of our larger entertainment room, and my question is, does the fact that some lights are on in the room impact the tank? The lights would be a center overhead fan light and a lamp on the other side of the room that are on for most of the night. Also, what about the T.V. and noise levels? We have a nice home theater set-up but don't crank it up anymore, just to be safe. Would bumping the stereo up cause any damage for like the short bursts of volume when like a movie's playing? I'm mainly concerned for my yellow tang, perculas, lawnmower, and my corals (some Monti frags and a big LT plate).

You are getting overstressed about nothing. Live your life as normal, play your music, lights are fine.
