unless if the fishes have imaginary friends i cannot see no one is rubbing the glass.

Maybe one of the fans in the canopy going bad? Ballasts can make sounds as well.

i have no fans but ill try and see if it is comming from the ballast. what sound does a mantis shrimp make?

 

[blind1993]

it is not constant, plus i just cleaned the pumps yesterday.

the noise comes like every 15-60 min, it hurts my ears and happens right when i start getting focused to my homework.

unplug things one at a time, since you know the sound's schedule it should be easy to weed out.

Its the fish screaming to get out because it can't stand the people in the walls rubbing rubber against the glass.

The only thing that makes sense to me in the situation is ghosts. It's science.

 

[lorenk]

Actually, that makes complete sense.

Blind, you think it might be the spirit of that yellow tang? You should have someone come out and exorcise the tank.

I attributed it to age (either the bulb or the ballast). I can't really pinpoint which device is making the noise, but I know it's the light system and the noise does stop once the bulb is fully illuminated.

Good luck finding the problem.

It was nice of you to try and help, Barbara... but I already said it was ghosts. I'm sure he appreciates the help, but the mystery is already solved. It was old man Jenkins from the amusement park.
