IM Fusion 20 under tv

Dsnakes · May 28, 2017

I had been set on placing my 20g AIO on this stand here. I just started wondering how much it would possibly affect the tv above. Tv will be small, probably 32". Anybody have experience with this? It is a small tank lit with current USA leds. So not too much evaporation. 5 gal bucket for ato lasts about a month. I know there may be salt creep eventually. Thanks for the input!

How about working, cleaning back chambers?
Pulling out a filter cartridge if its to long? I think it would be fine, I mean we run lights with electricity above our tanks.
Just do alot of measurements

Yeah, just make sure you have space to work on your filtration

You should be good. I've had tanks directly next to my TV for close to a year and haven't noticed anything. Be sure to hook us up with a link to your build though. Really interested to see how it looks under the TV when finished.

Well the tank has been moved. We went from a rental to a house we built. No tv yet. I think everything is doing well. Coral seems to be settling back in and the pair of snowflake clowns are happy. I added more dry rock when setting back up. I'll get a pic tomorrow. Here was during set up....that was my first tank move! Hopefully last ;Dead

The tank has been up and running for almost 2 months now. Still no tv above it, who needs a tv when you have a reef???

Most inhabitants are happy, acans are doing great! Sorry all I have is iPhone pics, nothing fancy

Finally purchased a tv to put above the tank. It's on a swivel mount and has plenty of room for maintenance.

The tank light doesn't bother the picture at all. My wife watching QVC hasn't complained yet!

Thank you! I think I'm going to close in the bottom of the stand and add doors to the front. I do hear lots of complaints on my pile of cords. Need to figure a way to mount my loop system
