Help with Tank Placement.

[Mindblock769]

Hello All!

I am looking for help on where to place my first tank. This will be my first saltwater aquarium and I would certainly like it somewhere it will be appreciated. My house isnt very big so my options are limited.

I hope this isnt too many pics, or I am posting in the wrong area.

Tank of choice: Reefer 250

Minimalistic design

I hope to hear some feedback! THANK YOU!

Entryway
- 2 options, basically where the 2 wall paintings are. (Where the TV is on the floor or closer to the kitchen where the current table is)

Entryway (looking into the home from the front door)

Living Room (placement on either side of TV)

Living Room (Left or Right side of couch against window, could be a tight squeeze)

Kitchen (Where trashcan currently resides)

Kitchen (Under the dart board)

Question is where do you want it ?
As long as not in direct sunlight.
Not in areas that get to cold or to hot,like in front of radiator or next to drafty window/ door.
Not anywhere where toxins can get in like outside a toilet where air freshness or aftershaves etc used.
Not underneath anything that can fall on it like shelves above or darts missing board and falling down lol.
Imo i would say out of high traffic areas like hallways as could stress skittish fish ( but most would adapt but just my personal preference not to)
Basically just common sense stuff like this plus other things but its where you want it.mine is in living room in corner as most of time we in this room so can appreciate more.

i'd say don't overthink it. I spend a lot of a time in and around the kitchen, if it were me, id put it where the trash bin is in the kitchen. I have a tank near the kitchen and one in the living room, I find myself looking at the one in the kitchen far more often as I often am standing and walking around the kitchen and sitting on the couch in the living room.

Thanks for the replies so far! As far as darts falling in the tank, don't worry the dart board would be relocated lol

We (the wife and I) were planning for the entryway but the more I thought about it, it would be somewhere that would not be appreciated. Thanks for the input!

The right side, in front of the outlet. Where the ledge is so you can see it on both sides. Idk what’s on the other side of that

I would do it in room where you spend the most time, so you can enjoy it the most. I like to have enough room to pull a chair in front of it as well if not one already there.
