In our various aquariums we run all sorts of equipment, heaters, skimmers, filters, pumps, powerheads, lights, and I'm sure any number of these things produce some level of sound and/or vibration. I'm just curious if anyone knows if this can stress fish by running too much equipment in a tank?

Like, I know reefs out in the ocean have all sorts of noise, waves, current, all that, but the fish also aren't confined to a few dozen gallons of water either.
