Tank behind couch...

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Yep, mine's about like that. It's my growout 75, with festivums, jurupari etc, no splashers. There's no wall behind it though, it's my kitchen island with the sink so I just python out the side. The only time it's even remotely a pain is when I need to clean the filter (a canister in the bottom of the stand). But even then it's not a huge deal, I slide the couch out and do what I have to do. Actually if I'm doing anything in there that might involve dripping (adding or moving fish generally) I just move the couch.
 
How skittish are your fish? They may freak out and hurt themselves when people get on and off the couch. Also, I'd worry about damage to the tank with people sitting so close to it. Is it glass or acrylic?
