Home Theater vs. Reef

CHEMCHEF · 09-05-2008, 01:42 PM

Wondering if anybody has had bad experience with tank and sound pressure.
I am running 4 HGS-18 subs in the same room with two tanks.
Sound pressure can get up to about 106db@20HZ and abou 140db@35-45HZ maybe more during exterme action movies.
Does anyone think this will be a problem, im not so much worried about high frequencies, Just worried about room shaking low freq.
My aquascaping will be secure and not fall against glass. But the seams in the tank may be the spot to worry about.

ANY THOUGHTS?

Well sound travels pretty well underwater I would be worried about the fish and inverts maybe.
