I'm a gas fitter...... Fireplaces don't come with tempered glass that's a sperate pane if glass generally very expensive which is what you see when fireplaces are in ensuites close to water
regular glass that's hot water splashes on it crack shatter all bad. It would look cool but not practical at all I'm sure you could find a much better spot to put a tank

Is this a zero clearance fireplace built into the wall with access to the back and will the aquarium be flush to the wall? if so then a beefed up stand over the fireplace should be all that's needed. not a good idea to have the tank out from the wall with the bottom exposed to convective heat from the fireplace. there is a clearance to combustible specs in the installation manual of the fireplace, start there.

Hrmmm. It's a cool idea and given the materials today, and unlimited funds it could probably be done. Having said this the question really is, just because you could do it, does it mean you should? The potential for absolute catastrophic disaster is there, especially with a gas fireplace, not only to the tank and it's inhabitants, but to the larger tank that you and your wife inhabit
 . Yikes. Cool idea though!

My thought was if the fireplace chages on fire the stand will break and put the fire out.
The biggest problem I can think of this is the heat from the outside face of the fire place heating up the tank quickly. A chiller I don't think could respand quick enough to cool the tank.
