Home tank placement

[es355lucille]

I have a 140g peninsula tank that is between our living room and kitchen. This is a great spot as we spend a lot of time in this area. But there are windows all around this tank that we keep shut all of the time. So although this is the best location for us........we will do it different with the new build.

The new build will be as sphelps has pointed out more practical in the basement for us for a lot of the reasons: safer as the sewer drain will be in the fish room(if something does go wrong), also better to make a fish room where the furances....as its a nice rough room with no dry wall...and we can do what we want etc. I think I will have less issues with algae blooms due to less natural light as the basement area is darker...and we will have more control over the light. I am looking forward to building in the basement. Our basement is undeveloped for the most part so its an exciting prospect. Our tank upstairs since we have upgraded some equipment is starting to spill into the kitchen with auto top off etc.

my 2 cents. Have fun with it !
