Just wondering... I've had tanks in my living room, bedroom, even in the dining room.
Due to space issues and the fact that I wanted my dining room back, I just downsized my 58 to a 35 in the computer room.
I'm especially interested in where you guys with BIG tanks keep yours...

Ready for this? I have a 55 SW tank and a 30 FW tank in my room. After the holidays I am going to start a 75 gallon tank(in my room) and until it cycles, the 55 will still be in my room. so for a bout a month and a half I will 160 gallons of water in my bedroom. I bet I will be peeing a lot during the night!!!

I keep my 125g and 55g in my basement.
My 37g reef however is in my room. not to interrupt the thread, but for xmas I am getting the ecosystem 40(hangon) and it comes with an overflow. does anyone know anything about the overflow that it comes with, like is it loud??? my protein skimmer already keeps me up a little bit???

The room that was meant to be the dining room was instead turned into the aquarium room for our 175 gallon reef. And then we have our newly established 120 in the computer room.

Flame... yes I have!!!! unfortunatly a couple of my cousins were playing that game on my pool table where you try to smash each others fingers by rolling the pool balls at the other player as hard as you can. anyways I had just put a 10 gallon up where I thought had plenty of clearance from the pool table. It was my "hospital tank" and had a coral buety in it and I was trying to cure it. anyways a ball flew up and smashed right into the front of my tank. Oh and by the way this was New Years Eve last year at about 12:15. So quickly I threw the fish in my 55 gallon and got in the car and drove straight to wal-mart. As you can imagine they were open and I was just about the only one in there. The other people were buying a bottle of wine or something like that, and I walked up with a 10 gallon aqurium. the chekout lady just looked at me and laughed, I replied, dont ask. It was quality. anyways, I learned my lesson and moved the tank!!

My house flows from a kitchen, to a dining area, to the family room. I have my 65 on the wall where the dining area blends into the family room. My 150 is still set up on a wall behind the table in our dining area. We always called the seat in front of the tank the Godfather seat, because you feel like mafioso with a big reef behind you. Unfortunetly, the 150 is coming down soon because of a flood that weakend the structural integrity of the stand. I'm using that tank as a large hospital tank right now, where I'm using the opportunity to treat the fish with hypo, before I move them to the currently empty 65.
