I keep my T's in my room, the rosea is vicous but she was like that in the shop, she seems to get aggressive when shes hungry or when lots of people are goggling at her, or when the tank set up is being changed (when she thinks your taking her plastic flower pot away). They have alot of music being played where they are in varying volumes, but i find they react to other typs of music to others, when i play phantom of the opera the rosea pastes herself against the glass, same with evanescence. But when i play The eagles shedoesnt do any thing. but none of them seem to mind or show stress and agitation.

Thats a good idea with the webcam, Cerbera. One thing I have done to try to alleviate excessive vibrations from relatively "normal" activity around my T's is that I have built a basic Lexan holding fixtures that fit around the outside base of my containers which is lined with 1/8" thick molded silicone (I frequently use this material at work when we create fixtures for ultrasonic welding applications), which greatly reduces vibration from below the container and also provides added stability for the container if it were indvertantly hit. I'll try to snap a couple of pics tonight to show more clearly what I mean here, but they work well.
