Or at least I hope it will. Had to get your attention.

I've wanted to get my wife a fish tank for awhile…. Based largely on the fact that she's been saying "I'd like a fish tank" for awhile…

Problem is, there really isn't ANY room that she spends much time in except the living room, and that's where the HT is. Anyone care to pass along any info regarding the cruelty of putting a tank in a room with an occasional booming sub? It just seems mean to put the tank in there and have the poor things cowering behind the little plastic diver or little ceramic castle.

Does bass effect bass? (read that one carefully!)

I had a small tank going for my kids that was about 15 or so feet away from the sub and I had to move it. When the sub got going the water would ripple and the fish would freak.

I didn't kill any but I know for a fact if I had left it as is, I would have.

Mark,

I do not think that normal fish (as opposed to abnormal, ha, ha) sense deep bass or "sound" as we know it. Aquatic mammals (dophin, whales, porpoises, seals) do sense vibration, even at great distances underwater.

Anecdotally, I can report that when I was a kid, I used to wear a mask and snorkel and watch as my Dad fished for smallmouth bass. He would clunk around in the boat (wood), making various thumps that I'd hear underwater, but the bass seemed unaffected by the bass sounds from the boat. They would go for the lure, oblivious to the sounds. Passing motorboats also didn't scare them. I could hear them coming--a high-pitched whining, from the outboard gearbox underwater.

So, does bass affect bass? Nope, not in my experience. But maybe you should consult a bass specialist.

Regards,

You are a bass specialist, aren't you? (gotta love English, no?)

As long as it doesn't turn and start singing that Talking Heads song, like that very odd wall plaque in the discount stores a few years ago
