Default Can you see your tank from your computer?

I used to have my tank (my 20 hex at the time) right next to my computer. I loved looking at it, but I moved it eventually because my halide pendant was burning my left eye out.

I have to say, now that it is on the opposite wall behind me, I don't look at nearly as much. I feel guilty. I think I need to move it back. Seriously!

Can you see your tank from your computer?
