Fish Tank Placement: Select the Best Location

Location is everything; so, where should I put my new fish tank? To get the most out of your new fish tank, your aquarium should be placed in a highly visible location, indoors, out of direct sunlight, and not in a draft.

You should stand in the middle the room you will display your fish tank in. Take into consideration any focal points such as a fireplace, large work of art, or entertainment center. Your best option would be to balance your room by placing your aquarium opposite of the main focal point. You should choose wisely if you opted for a large fish tank because once it's set up, it's there for the long haul.

• Placing your aquarium in a highly visible location will give you the opportunity to enjoy your pet fish. You will also be aware of any fish tank changes or conditions that must be addressed.

• Ensure you do not place the fish tank in direct sunlight. This will cause excessive heat and algae growth to occur. Too much of a good thing is not good for your fish.

• Choose a spot that is not in line with your air conditioner or heater vents, under a ceiling fan, or near a drafty wall. Drafts may cause drastic temperature changes.

Test out your area selection by standing there for a moment. Are all of the above conditions met? Place your empty fish tank there to get a feel for it. If you like it, then begin your fish tank set-up procedures.
