Where Do You Keep Your Tanks?

[baz_78]

I've currently got a relatively small 15G tank in my kitchen but I've really caught the fishkeeping bug and want to move to a larger tank...

My problem is where to put it - many places I've thought of will get direct sunlight, so are probably not ideal places.

So please share where you keep your tanks and what problems (if any) you have keeping them there...

Just interested to kno where people keep their fish (ie, bedroom, lounge, kitchen, etc)!!

I keep mine in the corner of the lounge away from the window. A good & safe location for viewing your new fish.

If you are looking at big tanks then be sure to take into account just how heavy it will be when filled when considering the room/cabinet eg. upstairs. Also placing it in a place when it will be passed a lot could cause it to get knocked a lot or the fish to get stressed.

Using 'none-official' cabinets can also invalidate a tanks warantee if they fall or break

The 19 gallon is in the dining room, the 15 gallon in the bedroom, the 6 gallon in my office, I've earmarked a corner for the 63 gallon in the living-room (coming this autumn!), and my daughter says she wants a tank in her bedroom- hang on, the bathroom's looking a bit empty!

10G on my bedside table and a 55G in the corner of my room.

both my 29 gallon nd my 35 gallon are in my room upstairs in the corner farthest from the window

My 39 Gallon is in the living room along one wall
next to my ever-so-empty vivarium

My 10 gallon is on my once-nightstand turned tank stand next to my bed, my 29 gallon is also in my room along the wall farthest from my window. My 55 gallon is downstairs in my brother's old room (he moved out) and I have an empty 29 on my bedroom floor

55 uk gallon in lounge corner so it's out of sun light and can't be knocked. I've seen fish in conservatories and it's a big no no due to big heat fluctuations

Mines in the corner in the living room away from the window.. the only place it can actually go.. my house is tiny... but I have to admit that in the summer I will be having some problems I think as a shard of light will be on the bottom left corner of it.

15 US Gallon is in my room, rarely open my blinds so they dont get any direct sunlight.

Hi. I have my tank in my bedroom. I don't really have any problems with keeping it in here except that the filter makes a little more noise than i would like. It's not too busy in there with people traffic and it doesn't get too much direct sunlight.
