i just moved into a new apartment and the living room isn't as big as the previous place. but the bedrooms are a little bigger. I have a 55g tank. anybody else keep a tank of that size in there bedrooms? the tanks are almost silent, the only noise is the water trickling from the AC300 and the EMP400.

i would just hate to set it up in the bedroom and not like it....anybody have an experiences with tanks in there bedrooms?
 
have a 30 long and a 10g. The impeller noise can be distracting when I'm watching TV, but other than that it's fine. I make sure I top off the water though, as the hubby doesn't like the constant waterfall noise, I find it rather soothing myself.
 
Drake,
I have kept a 55 gallon Plant tank in my bed room at my old apartment and it was incredible. I had no problems with it, and the stand matched my decor so it wasn't and eye sore. I am currently tossing the idea of placing my 75 gallon in my new place. Possibly turning it into a reef tank. But for right now, i have a 15 gallon endler tank, a 10 gallon gambusia tank and a 2.5 het tank in my bedroom.

I have a 38gallon and a 10gallon in my room (which is quite small), I think they look great. Just have to keep your room a little more tidy than usual :).
 
I have a 20gal. in my room. Only complaint is when the water is low I can't sleep because of the "trickling?" sound. Easy solution though, just keep it topped off. When i get my 55gal., it will probably be in my room too.

*i say go for it.

I have a 90 gallon in my bedroom and am planning to put in another- and eventually double decker stands on both. We find the trickle sound of the biowheel filters relaxing- used to have a tabletop fountain to provide "white noise" but this is much, much better.
 
i ran out of space for tanks in my apartment, ha...so i have a 20g SW in my bedroom, and (including the turtle setup) 4 FW tanks in the guest bedroom. well, that's not really right, it's not a guest bedroom so much anymore, since the fish have become the permanent guests there.
 
I have a 30 and a 10 in my room. I don't mind any noise (it's kept to a minimum anyways)

I have my 29-gal in my bedroom and I love it. The water trickle (if the tank isn't topped off) doesn't bother me at all. Most of the time my husband is watching TV so I can't hear it very well and if the TV is off, it's very soothing to sleep to. My guinea pigs like to watch the fish also. In fact, having the gp's in the room is more of a problem than the fish - they take up much more room in their over 10 sq ft bachelor pad.
 
I've run a wide variety of tanks in my bedroom over the years without issues other than noise.

I do confess that having bedroom tanks is what turned me off on HOB filters and airstones - decades ago. Now all of my tanks and all of my filters outside the fish room must be dead silent. If I can hear it, it does not stay with the tank.
