most could care less, it's funny, went my sw was in the living room and someone was coming over I'd make sure the tank was clean and the glass was clean and everything was good, didn't care about the rest of the place, and very few people cared.
A few weeks ago, step-father-in-law was helping sinner put a desk in his office, my tank is/was a mess since I'm removing the cc, all the lr was in one big pile in the center of the tank, salt creep was all other the back, I had hermit and snail shell (empty) on the top of the glass, the glass hadn't been cleaned, ect. I said I was sorry for the mess (also had water and salt out for a water change) and he said it looked fine. I had to laugh.
I understand, nonfish people don't get it.
