CheeseHead Posted February 15, 2001 Share Posted February 15, 2001 Any thoughts on mounting an RS-3 above a saltwater tank? The speaker doesn't appear to have any worrisome components, except the woofer, any possiblity that could corrode? If I were to mount the speaker in this way, it would be on the wall about 2' above the tank, so I could still open the canopy. Could I consider ceiling mounting? Only drawback is that from what I've read it should be about 3' above the listening area. ***On a side note, I recall reading someone having a problem with loose binding posts on their RS-3, I had the same problem. If I didn't happen to have a torx screwdriver on hand I would've been PO'd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myram Posted February 15, 2001 Share Posted February 15, 2001 I have my rear surrounds ounted on the wall over my saltwater fishtank and I haven't had any problems at all. The only way I could see that you might have problems is if the fishtank is an open top where there could be some splashing of water. But with mine, I have a full canopy so no water can ever get splashed out, and evaporation is at a minimum. Good Luck. ------------------ Klipsch Quartets Adcom GFA-555 Musical Concepts Modified NAD 1600 Pre/Tuner Sony C-67ES CD Player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myram Posted February 16, 2001 Share Posted February 16, 2001 Hey Cheesehead....... What do you have for a fishtank? Any pics? Here is a link to my fishtank website - http://www.angelfire.com/me3/fishtanks It needs some pretty serious updating, quite a few things have changed and I also added another 5.5 gal nano reef. ------------------ Klipsch Quartets Adcom GFA-555 Musical Concepts Modified NAD 1600 Pre/Tuner Sony C-67ES CD Player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CheeseHead Posted February 16, 2001 Author Share Posted February 16, 2001 Wow, you have some pricey fish! I took down my 55 that had African cichlids in it when I remodeled and gave the fish to my friends. Now that my room is put back together I'll be putting a salt tank up. On a related note, have you ever had a speaker above a tank, fresh or salt? I'm also curious how fish will react with a subwoofer about 6 feet away.

myram Posted February 16, 2001 Share Posted February 16, 2001 My rear surrounds for my HT system are right above the 150 gal tank. But with my Quartets I have measured over 115 db in that same room and the fishtank is only about 15 feet away from them and right in the sweet spot. The fish don't seem to be bothered by it at all, and even with my HT system with the movies up pretty loud, they don't seem to mind. ------------------ Klipsch Quartets Adcom GFA-555 Musical Concepts Modified NAD 1600 Pre/Tuner Sony C-67ES CD Player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndb38 Posted February 28, 2001 Share Posted February 28, 2001 I have always heard that salt water tanks demand daily attention. How much maintenance does it require? Just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myram Posted February 28, 2001 Share Posted February 28, 2001 A saltwater fishtank only requires weekly water changes. And in all reallity, the more mature the tank is, the less you have to do to it. Now that I've had my tank for a couple of years now, I only do water changes every 2-3 weeks, and of course I feed the fish daily. But all in all, it really isn't that hard to keep....but the key is patience and don't overstock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonvan Posted March 1, 2001 Share Posted March 1, 2001 Hey you fish/Klipsch lovers, I've got my 250 gal salt tank up for sale on E-Bay it's a good deal ;]. Search for "aquarium 250" and you'll find it. Even with full canopy youll have a higher level of humidity in that area, what are those driver cones made of? Just a thought. J.
