Hi all,
My new 14 outlet air pump in my spare room is very quiet and the fish love it BUT the bubbles are apparently so loud my neighbour can't sleep.
I've closed the window and door, covered the back of the tank hoods with towels. I was hoping the styrofoam boxes in the room might help insulate it with no luck. My place is double brick & we sleep fine with air pumps in our room so she must be a light sleeper but it is very loud
I've thought about taking a few of the air lines out, covering where the bubbles comes out from with fly screen to make the bubbles come up smaller and maybe bringing the sponge filters & air stones closer to the surface but I'd prefer not to do that.
Has anyone else had a similar problem? Please feel free to throw ideas at me
Thanks a lot
Nat
