Feng the shui please

So here's what I got now.

I don't need the vacuum on display, not the ladder giving the one year-old access to both tanks. The thingy behind the tank is a controller cabinet and really should live there. The shelves pull out, so it's be nice to keep 20" available in front of the cabinet.

What if you modify the cabinet under the bigger tank and cut a slot at the base for the vacuum to dock in?

There might be room behind it on the left.

Omigoodness. Let's talk about having a fishtank AND children.
You are a crazy person for having the ladder so close!
I would find my children IN the tank if I left it there...lol.

If you mean hide the controller cabinet, get an artistic towel of piece of fabric and drape it over the cabinet. easy on/off and visually appealing

That makes sense. I don't like it, but it makes sense.

Nerve blocks finally wore off so she's feeling the pain. Also some swelling so we're keeping an eye on that.

lolololol! I have child safety locks on the cabinets and the electrical outlet the power strip plugs into.
my mp40s are mounted a teensy higher than I want them, and I cannot leave the magnet glass cleaner or seaweed food clip too low.
I've also got about 35 mysterious, tiny dings in otherwise pristine, one-year-old-glass.
Turns out those dings are the exact height of my two-year-old holding a metal curtain rod that he should not have had access to...

Yeah, we've got some magnets that need to move, guess I need to place the coral in their forever home. Kid clips on the stand and the cabinet it to keep him away from the controllers that light up and click and other things that are like crack to him.

He hasn't been too interested in the ladder lately.
