I myself don't even notice it anymore, but my wife on the other hand has problems sleeping sometimes and every little noise in the room keeps her awake then. I solved the rattle noise with a simple sponge taped to the air pumps, now I have to find a solution to the bubble sounds. They are homemade biological filters, made from plastic bottles, ceramic rings and black sponges in combination with air pumps. Kinda makes a lot of noise those things, but super effective I must say. And cheap. LOL

They were simple "common sense" but I give you the thumbs up anyway (because "common sense" isn't common these days. If things aren't bought up, people won't bother to notice them) B.) been done hundreds of times, by others with aquariums, vivariums or any other type of animal habitat. Thumbs up for the fact that you work hard at pointing out everything in detail, explaining as well as visual instructions giving everyone not just the "how" but more importantly, the "why" C.) I may have something that works better in my opinion or I though of ways to improve what you've done. 365 days in a year + 365 videos = 365 thumbs up, Congrats to you sir!

Instead of putting the pump in a sealed jar, we can also reduce the vibration by placing a thick cloth like a small piece of Turkish towel type cloth. This also reduces the vibration & noise.

You can get REALLY quiet air pumps like the aPump that operate basically silently. I have a tiny piezoelectric Japanese-made air pump called the Nisso Mute S that makes only the tiniest of humming noises. I sleep a foot away from it with no problems. The only cons are they don't move a lot of air (although mine runs a box filter in my 25 gallon just fine) and they are a little pricey too ($35ish).

The only real way to lower ph is with something that dilutes the water you have like distilled water or Reverse osmosis water. basically this is something that people need to think about before they choose shrimp types est because then you will know what substrates and equipment you will need ..if your tank is for neocaridina like cheery shrimp its fine as it is .
