Default Should you move your aquarium to a different room?

You've probably heard me whine about this one... my aquarium was behind me while I sat at the computer. I hated it. I never noticed it really. FINALLY I moved the thing this weekend next to the arm of my couch in the leaving room. It's THE BEST! I can see it easily.. and check the sump without getting off the couch!

I also changed out my sand to some better stuff and got rid of a bunch of in and out of my tank. It looks sooo much better.

So now I've got tanks at both ends of my couch (the other is my turtle tank). I feel like Dr. No from James Bond.


Have you been putting off moving your aquarium?

What an ugle job Matt. I hate moving aquariums but I voted yes because it has to be done. Great time for improvments and like you did sand and other changes.

AAAK! No, I finally got the 300 up and running right where I want it. Plus I'd have to recarpet, fix the holes in the floor and run new plumbing down to the basement. The 72 is in a happy place next to the couch in the den, so it is good although the salt creep from the slow leak has got me thinking about a replacement. I will use the same spot. I need to double check, but I might be able to squeeze a 125 in the same spot. I know I'm good for a 90. I might even consider plumbing it into the same sump as the 300. Finally the 210 in the office is on the only wall that isn't occupied.
